  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. What function do programming languages have?

A programming language is an artificially constructed language used to instruct computers. It is interesting that the most effective way we’ve found to communicate with a computer borrows so heavily from the way we communicate with each other. Like human languages, computer languages allow words and phrases to be combined in new ways, making it possible to express ever new concepts

  1. 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.

  1. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?

The terms ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably—they are two names for the same language.

  1. A program is a language that tells a computer what to do.

  2. Programming requires you to always be learning as technology is always advancing. However the complexities that arise from the ever changing landscape should be tamed and made simple so that it easy to follow with a natural flow.

  3. Language helps to take unreadable information given to a computer and turn it into readable information that humans can understand that still is understood by a computer.

  4. There is no relationship, it was done for marketing purposes.

  5. It is the standard version of Javascript and the term is often used interchangeably with Javascript.

  1. What is a program?

A program is a group of instructions written by the programmer that intends to make the computer produce some specific result or output, usually through a request from the user.

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming?

The complexity of code can increase with the complexity of the calculations that the program has to perform. It is very important to keep hold of the complexity as much as possible so that the code can be “broken” into more simple instruction blocks that may be combined together under some more understandable logic. This will help the programmer to avoid a tough time to solve complex problems and make it easier to find errors in the code, when necessary.

  1. What function do programming languages have?

Programming languages allow programmers to write code in a higher level, which should be easy to understand, ensuring easier creation and verification of code.

  1. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

They are two totally different languages. The name “Javascript” has created on the hype of Java, and after it “worked” the community got “stuck” with the name.

  1. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?

ECMAScript is a set of standardized rules, which is pretty much Javascript itself. We can use both names indistinctly.

  • A program is a written string of text for computers to execute, it can also be data stored in a computers memory already executed
  • As a novice programmer I´d say the complexity feels unlimited, and will keep expanding with time
  • The program language makes the code instructing machines more understandable for humans, which really speeds up the evolution
  • Apparently there is only a relationship between java and javascript based on marketing and name reckognition. Did not expect that at all
    1. ECMAScript is a standard document written to describe the way that javascript should work, ECMAScript & Javascript are the same language.

2.  complexity can be the sum of many simple elements put together to create complexity.  

3.  They are the force that drives the machine.  the language to a point tells the machine how to use itself.  

4.  Javascript was developed for netscape, Java as a marketing strategy rode the coat tails of the ascendancy of Javascript.

5.  ECMAScript is a standard written to describe how Javascript should work and the features.  ECMAScript and Javascript have become interchangeable terms.

  1. A program is a set of instructions to a computer for what it should do in certain situations.
  2. Complexity in programming can vary based on what the programmer wants the computer to do. A program can be something very basic with almost no complexity all the way up to something very complex that might take a very long time for the computer to run all the way through. But it is all up to the programmer to decide the complexity, they can use many very simple commands and string them together however they want to make a very complex program.
  3. programming languages help convert what the programmer is trying to get the computer to do into a language the computer can understand so it can perform those functions like the programmer intended.
  4. There is really no relation, Java was just very popular when javascript was being developed so the name javascript was used to create more attention for it.
  5. ECMAScript is just the outline of the standard way javascript should be used or written to communicate well with systems that say they can handle javascript. The names javascript and ECMAScript can be used interchangeably.

Program:

  1. It’s a set of precise instructions telling computers what to do.
  2. its a piece of typed text by a programmer.
  3. It’s directing force that makes a computer do what it does.
  4. It’s a building of thought.

Complexity in programming:
The computer program is quite complex. The main aim of a programmer is to write a program in a way that was supposed to do as expected without complexity.
With the help of framework and code reusability, we can overcome this problem. In business world requirements change quite fast and our programs should be written in such a way if required in the future it can adopt changes.

There is no relation between Java and Javascript.

Answers:

  1. Programming is the act of constructing a program—a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do. Because computers are dumb, pedantic beasts, programming is fundamentally tedious and frustrating.
  2. The Measure on how complex the coding becomes with the program’s size and Complexity. A program can ingeniously combine an enormous number of these simple actions to do very complicated things. A program is a building of thought. It is costless to build, it is weightless, and it grows easily under our typing hands. But without care, a program’s size and complexity will grow out of control, confusing even the person who created it. Keeping programs under control is the main problem of programming.
  3. Functions are special values that encapsulate a piece of program. You can invoke them by writing functionName (argument1, argument2). Such a function call is an expression and may produce a value.
  4. Java is an object-oriented programming language and have virtual machine platform that allows you to create compiled programs that run on nearly every platform. Java promised, “Write Once, Run Anywhere”.
    JavaScript is a lightweight programming language (“scripting language”) and used to make web pages interactive. It can insert dynamic text into HTML. JavaScript is also known as browser’s language. JavaScript (JS) is not similar or related to Java. Both the languages have a C like a syntax and are widely used in client-side Web applications, but there are few similarities only.
  5. ECMAScript is a general-purpose programming language, standardized by Ecma International according to the document ECMA-262. It is a JavaScript standard meant to ensure the interoperability of Web pages across different Web browsers.
