What is a program?
A program is a set of computer instructions. These instructions are run by the computer solving mathematical operations to cause the desired effect. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Computer programming is very diverse and complex. There are 1000’s of ways to code any given desired output. -
What function do programming languages have?
Programing languages allow the user of a program to interact with it. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Both Java and Javascript were marketed by the same company. They are two different forms of computer languages. -
What is ECMAScript, and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript was a language that was developed using javascript to create a set of standers for coding that was created by a group of computer coding world leaders.
- What is a program?
- Lives in the computer’s memory and executes instructions to memory in real time
- Sets of instructions that tell computer what operations to perform
Computers can only do one thing at a time but it can do these simple operations very very fast. So programming languages allow you to combine a vast range of these simple operations to build complexity.
I liked this quote - “a program is a building of thought.”
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
The fundamental rules are simple, but the programs built on top of these rules can become very complex and involve their own rules. The author describes that it is like you are building your own maze.
Art of programming - skill of controlling complexity.
He says “keeping programs under control is the main problem of programming.”
- What function do programming languages have?
Allows you to communicate with hardware or software. You can communicate on a higher level/abstract level rather than having to manually tell the computer where to find files in the memory or writing code in binary. There are building blocks built into the syntax and you can also use the syntax to build your own building blocks.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Similar name just came from marketing - Java was being heavily marketed at the time and was become more popular.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
It technically is another name for Javascript. The ECMAScript Standard is a defined standard for the Javascript language.
1.A set of precise instructions that tell a computer what to do.
-
Programming is complex but it makes other complex or even impossible task simple once programmed.
-
The function of a programming language is to help humans effectively communicate to computers what we need done.
4.Java and Javascript have no relation other than their name.
5.ECMAScript and Javascript are the same exact programming language.
- What is a program?
A program is a building of thought. It is cost-less to build, it is weightless,
and it grows easily under our typing hands.
2 . What can you say about complexity in programming?
The fundamental rules are simple and clear, but programs built on top
of these rules tend to become complex enough to introduce their own rules and complexity.
You’re building your own maze, in a way, and you might just get lost in it. - 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. - 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 marketing considerations rather than good judgment. - What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
After its adoption outside of Netscape, 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. This is called the ECMAScript standard, after the
Ecma International organization that did the standardization. In practice, the
terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two
names for the same language.

- A program is a set of precise instructions written in code as a method for computers to communicate.
- Programming is the skill of controlling complexity, immaterial machines with interconnected separate parts.
- Programming languages function as an artificially constructed set of rules used to instruct computers.
- Java and Javascript are separate programming languages, the similar name was inspired by marketing considerations.
- ECMAScript is a standard used to describe the way the Javascript language should operate on various pieces of software.
- A program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
- The fundamental rules are simple and clear but programs built on top of these rules tend to become complex.
- Programming languages help the programmer in allowing him or her to tell the computer the actions it has to perform on a higher level.
- Java and Javascript are completely different languages.
- ECMASript is the standard document that describes the way Javascript should work. The term can be used interchangeably with Javascript.
- A program is a piece of text typed by a programmer that is the directing force that makes the computer do what it does.
- Programming is a building of thought that can ingeniously combine an enormous number of simple actions at incredibly high speeds to do very complicated things.
- Programming languages help the programmer by allowing them to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.
- They almost have nothing to do with each other. The programming language Java was named and inspired with marketing considerations rather than good judgement.
- ECMAScript is a standard document that was written to describe the way the JavaScript language should work so that various pieces of software that claimed to support JavaScript were actually talking about the same language. in practice the two terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably.
- It is a set of instructions in the memory of a computer
- You can make it as complex as you want it to be. But the art of programming is to keep the complexity as low as possible
- To provide clear and efficient instructions to the computer
- name only
- ECMAscript is another programming language. ECMAscript and Javascript can be used interchangeably
A little confusion @Nicksta, ECMAscript is just the standardization for the language Javascript. They are not two different languages. They are almost the same thing.
Happy Learning! 
- a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do
- keeping programs under control is the main problem of programming. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.
- will help 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 that allows you to define your own building blocks and makes those blocks easy to compose.
- JavaScript programming language named Java have nothing in common.
- ECMAScript is a standard document that was written to describe the way the JavaScript language should work. ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language.
thanks!!

What is a program?
A set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programming is instructing pedantic computers what to do via a language that was derived out of how humans communicate. Programs built on top of such fundamentals become complex
due to introducing their own rules and structure. -
What function do programming languages have?
They perform actions that the computer has to perform, they help omit details, they provide convenient building blocks, and they allow you to define the building blocks of your own projects. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java. Java was just riding on the success of Javacript. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
It’s a standard document which was written to describe the way the JavaScript language should work so that different softwares that claimed to support JavaScript were actually talking about the same language.
ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two
names for the same language.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
It’s the same language different name
1. What is a program?
1. A set of instructions that tell a computer what to execute.
2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
1. Programming allows computers to combine an endless number of simple actions and rules to execute very complicated tasks. However the size and complexity of a program can grow out of control unless the programmer has the skill of controlling it.
3. What function do programming languages have?
1. Programming languages help omit unnecessary details, provide convenient building blocks, and makes those blocks easy to compose into a program.
4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
1. Javascript took this name because the Java language was widely popular at the time, and it was a marketing attempt to ride Java’s awareness and popularity.
5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
1. Standardized guidelines for how the Javascript lanugage should work. ECMAScript and Javascript are now known as two names for the same language.1. What is a program?
A program is a collection of instructions that can be executed by a computer to perform a specific task.
2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
No matter how complexity the programming might be, it’s up to me to make the necessary effort to keep at it.
3. What function do programming languages have?
A good programming language helps the programmer by allowing them totalk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.
4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
JavaScript has almost nothing to do with Java.
5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
ECMAScript and JavaScript are two names for the same language.
-
a program is a set of instructions to tell a computer what to do
-
I would say that one of the most important tasks of a programmer is to make sure he/she can manage the inevitable complexity of the program as the the program he/she’s writing grows.
-
the function of a (modern) programming language is to allow the creation of programs (that is the set of instructions that computers can “understand” and to make calculations ) and allow humans (programmers) to be able to write them and understand them by using syntax that’s close to human communication.
-
Java was another programming. Other than sharing the first four letters in their words, there’s no real relationship between the two.
-
EMCAScript is the same thing as Javascript. EMCA was the organization that developed the document pertaining the standards that should be used for Javascript programming as it became one of the most widely used programming language in dynamic web programming and development
- program is a thought that runs on a computer
- Simplicity is key when programming
- Programming languages provide a human to computer bridge in terms of communication.
- They are two different programming languages
- EXMAScrpt is the programming language standard that java script uses.
1.- a set of instructions given to a computer generate an output
2.- In programming you should allways try to avoid the complex task and divide them into small simple problems
3.- Programming languages are the link beetwen human instructions and the machines
4.- Apart from same name, Java and Javascript have no relationship
5.- ECMAScript is the standard defined by ECMA International organization. ECMASCript and Javascrip are one and the same
While reading try answering the following questions:
- What is a program? I program is a series of coded software instructions to control the operation of a computer or other machine.
- What can you say about complexity in programming? Try to not get too complex, A) so it is easy for you and others to read. Also, if it’s too complex, it can take longer to load on the browser.
- What function do programming languages have? They allow programmers to write programs. Programming languages consist of instructions for computers. There are programmable machines that use a set of specific instructions, rather than general programming languages.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?Java applications are run in a virtual machine or web browser while JavaScript is run on a web browser. Java code is compiled whereas while JavaScript code is in text and in a web page. JavaScript is an OOP scripting language, whereas Java is an OOP programming language
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? ECMAScript is a Standard for scripting languages such as JavaScript, JScript, etc. It is a trademark scripting language specification. JavaScript is a language based on ECMAScript. JavaScript is considered as one of the most popular implementations of ECMAScript.
