  1. What is a program?
    A program is a set of instructions written by a programmer which tells a computer what to do.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Computer programs can be complex and thus it is very important to keep the complexity under control when writing a computer program. A good program is complexity made simple although it is important to realise that a good programmer needs to step out of their comfort zone into complexity in order to produce new solutions to problems.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages allow a programmer to instruct a computer at a higher level which is easier to understand by providing the tools and language with which to communicate to the lower level computer processes.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Nothing at all except a similar name was originally used for marketing purposes due to the popularity of Java.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript is a name interchangeable with Javascript. ECMAScriptu simply refers to the standardised version of Javescript.

1- A program is a piece of text that is directing the computer to do a specific task
2 - Building programs on top of rules develops a complexity by its nature.
3- Complexity in programming is building programs on top of rules. This develops a complexity by its nature.
4- Java and Javascript have almost nothing in common it was almost purely a marketing idea.
5 - ECMA script and Javascript are related to each other through the organization that conducted the standardization. it is two names for the same

  1. A program is a set of rules that are interpreted and followed by the computer.
  2. A program can range from incredibly simple to infinitely complex, given you have the hardware to support it. Codes can be written differently to create the same output with different levels of complexity.
  3. Programming languages allow us to communicate our instructions to the computer. They serve as an intermediary system between human languages and bytecode.
  4. Java and Javascript are two separate and distinct languages. Javascript operates within a web browser to manipulate web based objects, while Java can operate on a browser or on a virtual machine.
  5. ECMAScript and Javascript as terms can be used interchangeably. ECMA is the organization which standardized the various scripts supported by software programs that were all entitled Javascript.

  1. A program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
  2. It is best to avoid complexity in programming and keep it simple.
  3. Programming languages make it easier to make high level readable and writable programs for the computer to execute.
  4. They are not related . JavaScript was a marketing ploy to name it after Java because it was popular.
  5. ECMAScript is a standard document to describe the way JavaScript language should work. They are the same language and are interchangeable.

  1. A program is a set of instructions to allow the computer to compute.
  2. The complexity of code has matured over time. Initial programming languages were not so intuitive whereas code has developed to allow for more worded functionality which is more relatable and easy to understand.
    3.Programming languages are built to be the bridge between basic rudimentary input function and higher thought processing of the human mind to allow for more fluid functions and complex design.
  3. Java and Javascript are not related in any way other than the name Java. Java is a separate programming language.
  4. ECMA script is Javascript.

  1. A program is a st of instruction that instruct a computer to do a certain number of tasks. I liked a lot the phrase" A program is building of thoughts"
  2. A computer program ideally should hva simple solutions to complex answers
  3. As we advance in programming, the language, which is set of instructions have become less complex.
    4)Java was a program that had some traction in the 90’ . For marketing reasons cam the name JavaScript which has noting to do with Java.
  4. ECMAScript is the official standard document that describes the way JavaScript works.

  1. Instructions for a computer to execute, ‘the directing force that makes the computer do what it does’.

  2. Without care a programs size and complexity can grow out of control, best practices are used to combat this.

  3. Programming languages are artificially constructed languages used to instruct computers. They allow words and phrases to be combined in new ways , making it possible to express ever new concepts’.

  4. It doesn’t really exist. JavaScript sought a marketing opportunity to ride along on the success of Java and gain attention.

  5. ECMAScript and JavaScript are used interchangeably, 2 names for the same language.

What is a program?
A program is many things. It is a piece of text typed by a programmer, it is the directing force that makes the computer do what it does, it is data in the computer’s memory, yet it controls the actions performed on this same memory.
A program is a building of thought. It is costless to build, it is weightless, and it grows easily under our typing hands.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. The great program is subdued—made simple in its complexity.

What function do programming languages have?
A good programming language helps the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level. It helps omit details, provides convenient building blocks (such as while and console.log), allows you to define your own building blocks (such as sum and range), and makes those blocks easy to compose.

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java. The similar name was inspired by mar- keting considerations rather than good judgment. When JavaScript was being introduced, the Java language was being heavily marketed and was gaining popularity. Someone thought it was a good idea to try to ride along on this success. Now we are stuck with the name.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is a standard document was written to describe the way the JavaScript language should work so that the various pieces of software that claimed to support JavaScript were actually talking about the same language, In practice, the terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language.

  1. A set of instructions for a computer to execute
  2. Complexity should be avoided. The simpler the better
  3. Programming languages make it easier for humans to interact with computers. Instead of reading and writing ‘ones and zeros’ we can write in something that is more relative
  4. There are none.
  5. ECMA Script id the standard that JavaScript must follow.

1.) A program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
2.) The more complex a program is, the harder it is to control. The more subdued the program is the greater the program.
3.) Programming languages make it possible for humans communicate with computers.
4.) Javascript and java have no connection.
5.) The ECMAscript standard was created to explain how Javascript operates after it started to gain adoption outside of Netscape. They are one in the same.

A program is a piece of text typed by a programmer. It is the directing force that makes the computer do what it does, it is data in the computer’s memory.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
The complexity is best managed by using only a small set of well-understood techniques in the programs. strict rules have been composed prescribing the form programs should have. Complexity should be avoided. Programs should be as simple and readable as possible.

What function do programming languages have?
They enable people to read and write sets of instructions, without having to read or write them in binary

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There is no relationship

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
They are the same language with two different names.

1.What is a program?
A program is set of instructions the programmer gives to the computer for execution.

2.What can you say about complexity in programming?
If programimg is less complex you have less freedom but it’s easier to understand. Try to Keep it simple if it is to hard it can be confusing and frustrating and you easy lose control.

3.What function do programming languages have?
Programing laguage make it easier for humans to communicate what is wanted from the computer program.

4.What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There is no direct relationship between these two.

5.What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is the same language as Javascript and it was created to describe the way the Javascript language should work.

  1. Instructions for a computer to complete
  2. It’s stupid simple, but the simplicity is what makes it complex.
  3. It’s a language used to instruct computers, it helps us talk to computers, since we don’t want to talk in their language (i.e. binary) we give them one to know
  4. Nothing
  5. Basically the same. ECMAScript is the standardization of JavaScript

  1. A program is a piece of text typed by a programmer. Its is a directing force that makes the computer do what it does. It is data in the computers memory. A program controls the action that is performed on the memory.

  2. The problem with programs is that it is hard to keep it under control. The fundamental rules are simple. Programs are built on a basic set of rules, but the program in time may become so complex that it wiliest its own rules and complexity.

  3. Program language makes it easier for people to communicate with the computer.

  4. Around the time Javascript was about to drop, there was another language called Java language. IN 1995 Java was gaining popularity, so, the makers of Javascript decided to ride along on the Java train.

  5. ECMAscript and Javascript are different names for basically the same thing.

  1. A program is a set of instructions that tells a computer what to do.

  2. A low level of complexity should always be the ultimate goal for any programmer. It has to be controlled in a way one can easily read and understand the written code.

  3. Programming languages allow developers to “talk” with a computer on a high level manner. So that humans do not have to interact in binary code.

  4. There is none. It has almost nothing to do with Java.

  5. So ECMAScript is the standard created to describe the way the Javascript language should work. These two names can, in fact, be used to define the same language.

  1. A program is a set of instructions designed to accomplish a specific task

  2. Programming can be used to accomplish a wide variety of tasks, but computers are essentially extremely fast toddlers. They cannot process complex tasks, but can accomplish simple tasks extremely quick, so a program for complex actions need to have a contain comprehensive set of simple instructions.

  3. Programming languages allow programmers to interact and direct computer actions in as close to English as possible.

  4. Java and javscript are their own separate programming languages. Javascript was created after Java and adopted the name as a marketing strategy, as Java was one of the most widespread programming languages at the time of inception.

  5. ECMAScript was a document released to serve as a guide for Javascript programmers to follow as a standard to creating Javascript and similar programs. Its purpose was to standardize functionality so that everyone’s programs could properly interact with each other.
