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. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
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. -
What function do programming languages have?
Most programming is done with programming languages. 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. -
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.

1- a program is a set of rules or instructions telling the computer what to do.
2-the consistent material to learn and apply , in addition to the ever changing and developing world of programming adds to the complexity or sophistication of programming, so I think complexity would be all properties of a software that affect the inner working and relations within its interactions
3-allows the programmer to talk about the actions the computer needs to perform at a higher more efficient level

A program is a set of instructions given to a computer to perform a particular task.
Complexity in programming is a gift and a curse being that the more complex a program is sometimes results in the program being better then usual the trade-off is a complex program is harder to maintain and to write therefore necessary to have complexity in the simplest form
The functions that programs have are mainly to provide instructions to computers.
The relation between JavaScript and Java absolutely none
The relation between EMA script and JavaScript is they is that they’re one in the same

What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages eliminate the minutia of coding, in other words they remove or reduce the amount of necessary but boring and tedious little cogs needed to make the overall program execute as planned, and allow devs to focus on the main purpose of the program. -
What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
JavaScript as a language bares no relationship to Java. The name was chosen by someone who thought it would have good marketing value as Java, at the time, was the cool new kid on the block and “JavaScript” was chosen to ride on its coat strings. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
ECMAScript is a standard created after JavaScript achieved widespread adoption on browsers (it was initially created for the Netscape browser), which aimed to describe what JavaScript (JS) was and how it should be used so that software that claimed to support JS could be verified by a standard to show whether it was actually able to and was talking about the same language. In practice JS and ECMAScript are interchangeable and describe the same language.

What is a program?
A program is a text typed out by the programmer that gives the computer instructions. Do this, if this happens. A program is a machine, hosted by the computer, that executes many different, simple actions at an incredibly high speed… combining many simple tasks to perform something very complex. A program is building a thought, costless and weightless, at the mercy of our “typing hands.” -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programming can become easily complex and out of control. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. Some people believe that controlling complexity is best practiced by only mastering a few techniques, however this is limiting, because new problems are only solved by trying new solutions. Making mistakes, in the midst of learning how to manage complexity, is one of the best things you can do, so that you can go ahead and grow through them and become a more skilled programmer. -
What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages are a welcomed improvement from the primitive form of communicating with a computer, simply 1’s and 0’s. Now, programming languages help translate commands that are easily readable by humans…looking more like englidsh than reading numbers as messages. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
The relationship is nil. The similar name was inspired by marketing considerations, riding on the coat tails of the gaining popularity of the Java language. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
The ECMAScript was created after JavaScript became adopted outside of Netscape. This was a document that described the way the Javascript language should work so that the various pieces of software that claimed to support Javascript were all talking about the same thing - making this. easier to adopt and communicate with. ECMAScript and Javascript are the same thing, so you can use their names interchangeably.

A program is a set of instructions for a computer to execute. An example of a program would be sorting a large group of strings in alphabetical order.
Programming is a naturally complex endeavor that is made easier with the use of techniques, rules, and best practices. The downside, however, is that programming can be limited to a “safe little zone” that is incapable of overcoming new challenges and problems.
Programming languages allow programmers to write code while omit unnecessary details, use and define building blocks, and make writing/ executing code more efficient and less error-prone.
While the names of the two programming languages are somewhat similar, Java and JavaScript are languages that serve different functions.
ECMAScript is a standard that establishes the guidelines for programming languages like JavaScript. The ECMAScript standard puts everyone on the same page because programmers are all abiding by the same rules and can read each other’s code.
