1-> 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-> 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.
3-> The function is making it more efficient and effective to program and make the machine to waht we wanted it to do
4-> Almost nothing, To use the term “java” in javascript was du to marketing reasons
5-> 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. Related is that Javascript an ECMAScript can be used interchangeably, they are two names for the same language
What is a program?
A set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do , it is data
in the computer’s memory, yet it controls the actions performed on this same memory
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Because computers are dumb, pedantic beasts, programming is fundamentally tedious and frustrating. Programming, it turns out, is hard. 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. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. The great programis subdued—made simple in its complexity
What function do programming languages have?
Computer languages allow words and phrases to be combined in new ways, making it possible to express ever new concepts. Computers themselves can do only stupidly straightforward things. The reason they are so useful is that they do these things at an incredibly high speed. A program can ingeniously combine an enormous number of these simple actions to do very complicated things. It is costless to build, it is weightless, and it grows easily under our typing hands
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
It is important to note that JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the
programming language named Java. The similar name was inspired by marketing
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?
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
- What is a program?
A program is a set of instructions [usually for a computer.] - What can you say about complexity in programming?
Complex programs might do more things, but it can be very difficult to find problems and issues in the program [code.] - What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages act as a bridge to allow humans to communicate with computers. - What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Java is independent from Javascript. Javascript was created in 1995 and was piggybacking on the existing Java programing language to gain recognition. It was a marketing strategy to name the language Javascript. - What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript and Javascript are one in the same; different names for the same thing.
-
A program is a set of instructions.
-
Complexity in programming should be controlled so that the result is simple yet effective.
-
Programming langauges have the function of allowing humans to interact with computers on a fundamental level (i.e. binary), and for providing readability for other humans.
-
Java was a heavily marketed language decades ago. Javacsript decided to ride the bandwagon of this popularity with a similar name. They are not related.
-
ECMAScript, named as such after the Ecma International Organization, was a standard set by the aforementioned cohort as a means of standardizing how various pieces of software that claimed to support Javascript, were actually using/talking about the same programming language.
- A program is a set of instructions to be computed by machines / devices.
- You can put the instructions in a long or short way. Functions often include a bunch of instructions which can be executed at the same time / all at once.
- Programming languages are a kind of bridge between the programmer and the computer. If programmers would have to ‘speak’ or write in the language of computers, it would only consist of 0s and 1s. Therefore it would be very hard for humans to read and write code.
- Java and JavaScript have almost nothing in common. It is just the name that was chosen because Java was very popular at the time JavaScript got out in the public.
- ECMAScript and JavaScript are different names for the same programming language.
- What is a program?
- a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
Even though the fundamental rules are simple, programs built on top of these rules tend to become quite complex. - What function do programming languages have?
- programming language is a tool to build computer programs
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
- They are 2 different programming languages which have almost nothing in common.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
- ECMAScript is a standard document 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.
-
What is a program?
A set of rules given to a computer to execute. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
In the begging programming was tidious, but relatively simple due to the lack of computing commands and instructions. Now is it quicker to do, but more and more complex. The challenge is to keep coding simple in its complexity. -
What function do programming languages have?
Building blocks in creating software. It consists of sets of computing instructions that create various outputs. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There is no relation between Java and Javascrip. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAscript is a standart for scripting languages. Javascript is based on ECMAscript.
-
A program is a set of instructions and rules that are given to a computer so that it executes exactly what the programmer intends in a predictable and logical manner
-
Programming is complex and requires a lot of abstract thinking and problem solving capabilities
-
Programming languages serve as intermediaries between the programmer’s unlimited creative capabilities and the computer’s limited and purely logical understanding of commands. They are responsible for creating a higher level of abstraction that allows programmers to build complex programs and communicate them to the computer
-
Java and Javascript have almost no relation besides a branding and marketing strategy of the Javascript creators to try to ride along on Java’s established success
-
ECMAScript is a standard document written to describe the way the Javascript language should work, so that all software that started supporting it would follow the same standard. ECMAScript and Javascript are interchangeable terms, essentially serving as two different names for the same language
-
What is a program?
A program is data in a computer’s memory, created by a programmer with text. A program control’s the actions taken on the computer’s memory by it’s memory. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
The act of programming, and designating tasks to the machine often becomes quite complex. Good programming manages this complexity in a way that is legible, so the creator and others can make sense of the code. -
What function do programming languages have?
The function of a programming language is to manage complexity, to simplify datasets into more legible code, as to be easily written and understood. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Java is a completely separate programming language than Javascript. Javascript used a similar name to ride the growing popularity of the language “Java”. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
The Ecma International organization created a standardization for how Javascript should work and compiled a document so that Javascript would not be confused with other languages. ECMAScript is an alternative name for Javascript.
1. What is a program?
A set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do
2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programs can combine many simple instructions which can turn out very complicated. Programs can quickly become very complex and the aim of the programmer should be to keep programs under control and simple to understand.
3. What function do programming languages have?
To provide a human readable set of commands that direct a computer to perform certain tasks or actions so that these tasks can be done much faster than is possible by a human.
4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There is no relationship apart from a similar name. They are different programming languages.
5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
The ECMAScript standard is a document to describe the way JavaScript should work. The term ECMAScript is interchangeable with JavaScript.
- a program is a language or visual interface witch instructs a computer how to behave and what to do.
- the challenge is to translate complex problems into short understandable code wherever possible. for example: Recognizable names of variables is for me one way to exit the complexity-forest. Many times I am amazed how short a line of code is(or can be
) in the end to solve a difficult problem. - a program can do stupid straightforward things at a speed that humans can only dream of doing themselves so therefore they are way more efficient and precise than human calculations, especially repeating actions.
- the name Java is adopted by a corporation and a total different language while java-script is an invention of one of the first web-browsers.
- ECMAScript is the standard protocol of how java script works. the names can be used both.
-
What is a program?
A program is a data set of instructions intended to be interpreted by a computer in a specific way. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
It is best to keep a program as structured and organized as possible. -
What function do programming languages have?
To provide a comprehensive linguistic interface for developing a program. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Named after Java due to Javas popularity. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is the Javascript standardization reference.
Excellent wording!!!
-
Program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
-
A program can be simple and have basic fundamentals, but programming multiple different languages and packages on top of a program can make it complex. To make programming simple, a basic standard or framework can be helpful to understand for the wider community.
-
Programming languages are designed for humans to communicate with computer systems
-
There is no relationship between Java and Javascript
-
ECMAScript is a standard that is written to describe the way the Javascript language should work.
- A program is “a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.” - Eloquent JavaScript
- Programs can be built on top of other programs, adding yet more layers of rules and complexity.
- “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.” - Eloquent JavaScript - JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language, Java; it was all a marketing ploy to jump on a popularity band wagon.
- ECMAScript and JavaScript are the same language and can be used interchangeably.
- Program is manything, it’s a piece of text typed by the programer, and its the directing force that make the computer do what it does at all its the controller of action performed on the memory.
- complexity is the quality of being difficult to understand or lacking the simplicity of the complexity of the problem meaning that there is no reasonable higher instruction to be define the various possible interactions
- A programming language help the programmer by allowing them to talk about the action that the computer has to perform on higher level, it help omit details,provide convenient building block, allows to define own building blocks and make those blocks easy to compose
- Javas are the programming languages that runs in virtual machines or web browser while java script run on web browser, it complained where us while javascript code is in text and in webpage, it men there is no relation between the two as far as the similarities in the name concern it seem.
- To write the standard document to describe the way javascript should work so that various software that claimed to support javascript was develop. And its called ECMAscript standard
- What is a program? It is basically an instruction on what to do to a computer.
- What can you say about complexity in programming? When you know how to control the complexity, you are good at programming.
- What function do programming languages have? Helping programmers to omit details, providing convenient building blocks, defining their own building blocks, also easily composing them.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? Almost nothing else than some marketing.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? It is the standardization on how JavaScript language should work. Basically another name for the same language used by JavaScript,
- Rules and directions the user sets for the computer to follow.
- complexity comes more often than not because javascript is always evolving therefore, will be always more complex through out time.
- programming languages can be the only form of communication between man and machine through the human giving the machine the commands.
- the name java and thats it.
- ecma script is another programming language realted to javascript by the format it scripts its language, similar to js.

A piece of code written by programmers. Set of actions to be performed by computer. Expression of thoughts into machine form.
2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
Besides it’s basic form principles programming is hard and can become complex when stacking one computational model over another and so on. Programming is more than just a set of “best practices”.
The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.
3. 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.
4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java. Completely different languages.
5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is the standard for JavaScript, which was introduced after the large adoption outside Netscape. Basically it’s the same language.
-
A SERIES OF INSTRUCTIONS WHICH CAUSE A COMPUTER TO EXECUTE VARIOUS FUNCTIONS AND TASKS BASED ON THE CRITERIA WE GIVE IT.
-
the complexity of programing seems to me to be a function of my own familiarity to the language itself. Spanish is complecated but that’s mostly because i don’t speak it. english however may seem complex to some but I wouldn’t refer to it as such as I do speak it… althougth, my spelling sucks! Lol
-
to enable an expanding range of comands, and executible functions which enable more userfriendly interaction between the user of the computer and the computer itself.
-
none from a technical perspective, only a marketing effort to make the newer language, javascript, more redily adoptable.
-
They are one in the same. ECMA is an organization that wrote a paper defining the best practices and rules of JavaScript which was so effective that the two terms became interchangable.
