What is a program?
Programming is the act of constructing a program—a set of precise instructions that tell a computer what to do. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
Some programmers believe that this complexity is best managed by using only a small set of well-understood techniques in their programs. They have composed strict rules (“best practices”) prescribing the form programs should have, and carefully stay within their safe little zone.

What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages translate human under stood code to machine languages.

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
No relationship

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is the standard that Javascript

  1. What is a program?
    Program is a set of precise instructions that tell a computer what to do. 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.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    A program’s size and complexity can grow out of control and confusing even the programmer who created it. Therefore it is necessery to keep programs under control.The great program is made simple in its complexity.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages allow the programmer simplier communication with the computer in relation to the actions that it has to execute.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    There is no connection between Java and Javascript. Javascript just used this name for marketing reasons because of the popularity of the java at that time.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript is named after Ecma International organization that did the standardization of Javascript. In practice, the terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language.

  1. A program is a set of instructions written by a programmer that instruct computer to perform a certain computation or set of computations in predefined order.
  2. Programming is basically abstracting complex problems into simple steps. The magic is to make those complex steps (program) easily understandable by implementing clear logic.
  3. Programming languages are making people talk to the computers easier. They are alike English language and they are later translated into bunch ones and zeros that are readablevby the machine.
  4. The only relationship between the two is that they have similar names.
  5. ECMAScript and Javascript are the same thing and both phrases are in use for the language.
  1. construction by programming which contains instructions that tell to the computer what to do
  2. amalgam of information I mean the complexity problem is a problem that u need to arrange the details by ur logical thinking making it in logical order
  3. instruct computers, make a connection
    4)no relationship
    5)ECMAScript is standardilized version of JS The same or similar language
1. A set of simple instructions that can get very complexe jobs done.
2. Programs should be as simple as possible.
3. They are abstractions of machine code to make it human readable.
4. Just a marketing game like Bcash.
5. It's the standard which the language follows. So its two names for the same thing.
  1. A program is a set of precise instructions that tell a computer what to do.
  2. A program’s size and complexity can grow out of control. The great program is made simple.
  3. A programming language is an artificially constructed language used to instruct computers.
  4. JavaScript has nothing to do with Java, just tried to use it’s marketing campaign at the time JS was released.
  5. ECMAScript is a standard document that 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. ECMAScript menas the same as JavaScript.
  1. No one can be told what a program is. You have to see it for yourself.
  2. In order for humans to understand and be able to control the program, it must be kept simple.
  3. Language helps us understand the program and makes it easier to give the computer instructions, thus enables us to interact with the computer
  4. There is no real connection between Java and Javascript. The name Javascript was chosen by marketeers, who thought it was a good idea to use a name similar to a popular programming language. Have to admit it sounds better than ECMAScript :roll_eyes:
  5. ECMAScript is a standard document that describes how Javascript should work, in order to get the same behavior across different platforms that support Javascript.

A program is a set of instructions for a computer that takes a piece of data and does something with it, usually to be used in some sort of human-readable output.

A computer program can be simple or complex, but programs tend to grow in complexity over time, to the point where often the original author doesn’t understand the entirety of the program.

Programming languages allow people to use real English words as a way of communicating with computers, rather than trying to communicate the same information using ones and zeroes.

JavaScript is related to Java in that the first 4 letters are the same and it is a programming language, however there is no association between the two aside from JavaScript incorporates the trendy name Java as a means of marketing.

ECMA script is the commonly agreed upon standard for JavaScript, and is a term that can be used interchangeably with JavaScript.

  1. Is a set of determinated instructions that are made for the computer to follow
  2. It can be realy easy to get lost in the programs you develop. Is best to bild the structure of the code first, and focus on the details latter
  3. Programming languages have the function of being the way to comunicate instructions to the computer inequivocally
  4. Java and JS have no relation what so ever
  5. ECMAScript is another way of saying JS
  1. What is a program?
    Program is a set of precise instructions that tell a computer what to do

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Keep as simple as possible

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    A programming language is an artificially constructed language used to instruct computers.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, allows you to define your own building blocks, and makes those blocks easy to compose.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language Java

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript is a version of JAVAscript. ECMAscript version 3 was the widely supported version, and the leatest is version 6

  1. "What is a program?"
    A program is a list of instructions list that computers execute.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    A good programmer is someone who writes with fluency, organization skills, and has a complete understanding of the program's functionality. Sometimes in life and especially often in programming, “less is more”.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages assemble instructions into binary code.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Java and JavaScript are not related directly. For marketing purposes JavaScript chose it’s name as Java was a popular programming language at the time, and the creators wanted it to be seen as “complementary” to the former.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript is a standard which supports JavaScript as well as other implementations (languages(e.g. ActionScript and JScript)) which all share the same “core values”.

What is a program?
A set of simple instructions that can get very complexe jobs done.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programs should always be as simple as possible. Less is beautiful.

What function do programming languages have?
They bridge the gap between human instructions DoThis into some binary action 101010101110

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Nothing. Kind of like BitConnect and BitCoin

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
It’s the standardized name of Javascript.

  1. a program is a set of instructions telling a computer what to do.

  2. The complexity of a program depends on the ability to interpret and use a slightly ambiguous language to do what you want it to. without care a programs complexity could grow exponentially like getting lost in a maze you have built.

  3. The function programming languages have is to articulate and a provide building blocks for instruction/action and enable one to write this ‘code’ in such a way that a computer can compute the instruction the way you want it too.

  4. Java and Java script have no relationship except that they where developed at the same time.

  5. ECMAscript is related to Java script as it is one in the same, it is the script standard for the Java script language.

  1. A program is a building of thoughts. it combines several or enormous number of simple actions (instructions) in order to do very complicated things
  2. Complexity in programming can grow out of control if done without care. the art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity (a great program is made simple in its complexity)
  3. Programming languages allows programmers to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform
  4. Javascript has nothing to do with Java
  5. ECMAScipt standard describes the way the Javascript language should work. ECMAScript and Javascript are two names for the same language

Your reply @PGCodeRider about the relationship between Java and Javascript killed me man!! :joy::joy:

  1. Program is set of instructions for performing specific task, it is writen in programming language
  2. Discribes number of of interactions between separate entites in the software, which increases exponentialy with number of entities. If the complexity is too high the modification of software is becoming impossible.
  3. Programming languages help to simplify commands given to computer.
  4. There is no relationship apart of the name. Java is back-end computer language, JavaScript is front-end.
  5. ECMAScript was created to standardize the JS, now JavaScript and ECMA are basicaly the same language.

What is a program?
A program is essentially an instruction to a computer for it to perform a defined set of tasks.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
Complexity is the eternal problem of programming, and the art of programming revolves around the challenge of limiting complexity. Programs can very easily grow out of control, making it very complicated to clean them up.

What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages have the function of systematizing a set of commands on a higher level (than the binary level). They allow for more advanced building blocks to be composed together more efficiently.

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Java is a different programming language which got its name for marketing purposes, and it had nothing to do with the Javascript programming language.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript can be used as a different name for Javascript, and it refers to a standard document that was written to describe the way the JavaScript language should work.

What is a program?

A program is a set of instructions written by a programmer to compute a desired result.

What can you say about complexity in programming?

Programming can be complex depending on the problem that is being solved. The more complex a program, the greater the chance of getting lost when writing it. Complexity diminishes as abstraction increases. Therefore, using a higher level language will make a program syntactically less complex.

What function do programming languages have?

Programming languages main function is to act as a way for humans to convey ideas from plain english to machine code, ones and zeros, for the computer to comprehend instructions.

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

The only similarity is in the name. This was because Javascript was named like this to ride on the waves of java’s success at the time.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?

These two names are interchangeable and used for the same language.
