1 What is a program?

It is a type of software that works as a set of tools designed to perform specific tasks and jobs on your computer.

2 What can you say about complexity in programming?

A question that arises to find an unknown data from other known data, or to determine the method to follow to obtain a given result.

2 What is the function of programming languages?

To optimize web pages, design applications, run hardware and software of a company, among other tasks, it is an opportunity to constantly grow professionally and economically.

4 What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

They are two different programming languages. Although they share a similar name, the truth is that they have nothing to do with each other. Its syntax is very similar, but the truth is that both Java and Javascript inherit the syntax of the C language, so that similarity is not very relevant.

4 What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?

ECMAScript specifically is the standard that from 2015 to the present is in charge of governing how the JavaScript language should be interpreted and function, being this (JS - JavaScript) interpreted and processed by a multitude of platforms, among which are browsers web, NodeJS or other environments such as the development of applications for the different operating systems that currently exist on the market.

  1. A program is a set of precise instructions that tells the computer what to do.

  2. It is best to avoid complexity while programming. Keeping it simple is the key. The more complex, the easier you can get lost and others will not be able to understand it.

  3. Programming languages are used to instruct computers the same way humans interact by combining words and phrases in news ways for different outcomes.

  4. The only relationship between Java and Javascript is the name.

  5. ECMAScript is the standard language ruleset for Javascript.

  1. A program is many things but the primary function of one is to instruct a computer what to do

  2. Controlling complexity in programs is the biggest problem programmers have and being a good programmer consists of honing this skill

  3. Programming languages provide a much easier and more efficient way to communicate with our computers

  4. Java and JavaScript are two different programming languages. At the time JavaScript was being created, Java was very heavily being used and JavaScript creators wanted to market on the back of that success. That is why they are named similarly even though they are completely separate.

  5. ECMAScript standard was created so that entities that supported JavaScript had guidelines to go by to understand what JavaScript was and to know that it is the same language as what they think it is. Today ECMAScript can be used as another name for JavaScript

  1. Typed commands from a programmer to cause a computer to perform tasks/actions.
  2. Computers are dumb machines that only do what they are programmed. The more complex a program becomes, the more chance of error due to redunant commands or conflicting commands. Greater care must be taken as complexity increases to avoid issues.
  3. Programming languages exist to condense a “task” one wants to have a computer perform and are written in a logical, understandable way while maintaining conscise designs.
  4. Absolutely nothing.
  5. Ecma International Organization (ECMAScript Standard), and it’s basically another name for JavaScript.

  1. A program is text, written in a programming language such as JavaScript, C++, or Python. Usually is similar to English, and it allows you to be able to programme a computer to do in a loop a sequence of basics actions that all together can lead to a more complex result.

  2. Due to the enormous quantity of code that the programmer need to write to be able to solve a problem, usually is mandatory to try to reduce complexity during programming. We should try to do our best to find the easiest way to solve a problem coding.

  3. The function is to generate a simple list of actions that a computer can rapidly do to be able to solve a problem more difficult as the output comes.

  4. There is no relationship except for the name that was taken from Java due to marketing reasons

Basicly it is a standard and we can use the two terms for identify the same thing.

  1. a smart way to tell your dumb computer what to do
    2 in programming you can either write things very complex or very simple but it will still work the same
    3Making it easier to give the computer the right instructions and therefore also making it easier to get the right results from your functions.
    4Nothing other than the fact that the javascript marketing department thought it would be a good idea to steal the word java from java because java was a very popular language at the time.
    5ECMAScript is the standard that JS follows and the two words can be understood as one in the same.

  1. A program is much like an immaterial machine that instructs a computer (physical machine) what to do with its computational capacity.
  2. The complexity of a program can easily grow out of control and needs to be managed to maintain a degree of simplicity or elegance within the complexity of the instructions.
  3. Programming languages make the commanding and reading of instructions to the computer more accessible, less tedious and easily interpreted.
  4. The only relation is that Java was a highly marketed programming language at the time that JavaScript was released and the developers of JavaScript chose the name to ride on the coat tails of the work done by Java.
  5. ECMAScript is interchangeable with JavaScript as the ECMA International organization standardized JavaScript to be used and recognized across a range of software.

    for someone who is new to the space as well as those that have experience in the field.
    Complexity in programming is normal, but simplicity is greatly embraced.

  2. What function do programming languages have?
    -Programming languages play a huge role in computing, because it is how the computer
    understands what to do with the information that is given.

  3. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    -There is no relationshop between Java and Javascript. Java is a programming language
    where as JavaSctipt is a scripting langueage.

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

  • ECMAScript and Javascript can be interchangeably used as the same thing. For they
    represent the same ideas.
