- A program is a set of instructions that a developer uses to talk to a cpu
- Programs can become so complex that the writers get lost in it, it requires thinking in an abstract way, cpus are just machines and you gotta think for them
- Programing languages have pre-defined rules/ phrases that act as a common denominator for humas to communicate with cpu’s
- Javascript sounds like java because marketers wanted to ride the jova wave that was popular at the time.
- ECMAScript and Java script are the same thing

- What is a program?
A program is a detailed list of very specific steps that a programmer builds and implements with a computer to make it function how they intend. A program is run on a computer and also instructs the computer it’s run on to do many different things.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
Complexity grows as functionality of the system grows. Using best practices in cleaning and using code correctly will help with building and maintaining simple, moderate and very complex systems.
- What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages create the true functionality of these systems. They allow the systems to work with logic, and to accomplish the tasks of the program itself.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Bad marketing.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is a standardized programming language format, which can be used interchangeably when referring to the Javascript language. It standardized the programming language format for the World Wide Web.

- A program is a list of statements or collection of instructions to be executed by a computer to perform a specific task.
- Programming may be as simple or as complex as you like. Best practice to keep it simple.
- Programming languages allow humans to give computers a set of instructions to follow. Computers think in binary and programming languages allow us to translate binary into something humans can understand and write.
- Both are programming languages. Java is an object oriented programming language that uses objects to perform actions based on relations between objects. JavaScript is an object oriented scripting language that uses objects similar to java but is contained within a web page and integrates with its HTML content and is interpreted as plain text code.
- ECMAScript is a JavaScript standard meant to ensure the interoperability of Web pages across different web browsers.

A program is the directing force that causes the computer to do what it does. It is a set of instructions for the computer to execute.

Complexity management is crucial. Keeping it simple as possible makes the programming easier to understand and execute. The more complex the program is the more chances for bugs to hide in the program.

Programming languages are designed to allow humans to read and write instructions for the computer without having to write difficult binary code.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
It comes with the idea of the program itself. You can have an easy programming doing little easy tasks, or complex programming for more complex tasks. A good programmer tends to decomplexify his code to make it the easiest possible.
What function do programming languages have?

- What can you say about complexity in programming?
The rules in programming are simple and clear, but programs built on the rules usually become complex to the point where they introduce their own rules and complexity.
- What function do programming languages have?
They let programmers outline actions a computer has to perform on a higher level (i.e. expressing an action in a few lines of code vs. something long).
They also provide convenient building blocks and let programmers build their own building blocks, too.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Java was a popular programming language at the time of Javascript’s creation. To try and piggyback off of Java’s success, Javascript used Java in its name.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is a standard for Javascript that describes how it should work so that Javascript-supporting software can make sure they are talking about the same language. In reality, ECMAScript and Javascript can be used interchangeably, as they are both names for the same programming language.

- A program is text or “code” created by the developer to tell the computer what action he would like it to perform.
- Many programmers stick within their lane by keeping the code simple. This is good because complexity can be inefficient in ways but bad at the same time because they need to expand their knowledge of coding.
- They serve as a language to express what you would like to computer to do.
4.It was a marketing ploy, they have no relation.
5.In JavaScripts’ inception, to decipher between Java and JavaScript. Netscape wrote a standardized document for Javascript software to explain the functions of javascript to ensure that everyone was talking about the same program. ECMAscript is JavaScript.

- A program is a set of Logical Instructions given to a Computer.
- As number of variables, iterations and loops increase the program becomes extremely complicated like a real time video game and becomes difficult to code elegantly, but this is the task of seasoned programmers to Keep it short and simple and eloquent, just like a smooth flowing language.
- The primary function of programming languages is to make computers perform difficult calculations and execute them as smooth Logical programs, because computers can make calculations much much faster than the Humans.

Hi!

A program is many things…
a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do. It is a piece of text typed by a programmer and it grows easily under his typing of hands, it is costless and weightless to build. It is a building of thoughts. It is data in the computer’s memory and yet it controls the action performedon this same memory, it is the directing force. -
“The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.”
Simple in complexity is genius. -
They are used to instruct a computer. They make the interchange between Human and Computer easier.

Almost nothing, just the name is similar.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
Complexity is going to happen when it comes to coding, especially since many different languages may be used in one specific program. It is important that we try to keep it as simple as possible and be as clear as possible, if we run into issues and get stuck it will be hard to fix any bugs or problems if we were not clear in our line of coding. -
What function do programming languages have?
One of the most important functions that programming languages do is that they are able to compute almost any level of mathematical computations. When this is done in an organized manner, a program can do almost endless possibility of actions. -
