Javescript Programming - Reading

  1. Program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.

  2. Programs built on top of basic rules are very complex. They ingeniously combine an enormous number of simple actions to a very complicated thing. The complexity and size can grow out of control confusing even the person that created it.

  3. The functions that programming languages have are:

  • provide actions that a computer has to perform at a higher level

  • help omit details

  • provide convenient building blocks (such as a while, console.log) which allows you to define your own building blocks (such as sum and range) and make those blocks easy to compose

  1. The relationship between java and javascipt is that java is a programming language and java happened to piggyback (ride) on java’s marketing popularity. The two are actually different entities.

  2. ECMAScript is the international organization that standardized the javascript document. The javasript document is produced by javascript. It describe how the javascript language should work so that the various pieces of software that came to support the javascript were actually talking the same language. The two, EMAScript and JavaScript, are part of the same thing and can be used interchangeably.

  1. A program is a combination of code that can direct computers to implement logic or features that are included in the code.

  2. Complexity in programming is entirely up to/dependent on the programmer. Programming has relatively simple rules, but the overall structure gains complexity as you add more features to the overall program. It was described well in the book as “You’re building your own maze.”

  3. Programming languages allow humans to communicate and direct “dumb” computers to execute simple or complex things at very high speeds.

  4. Java is a different and separate programming language than Javascript. They share the same name, apparently for marketing reasons, although it can also be recognized as ECMAScript.

  5. They are two names for the same language. As the language evolves and new versions of ECMA come out, more and more will be added to the applications of the Javascript programming language.

  1. What is a program?
    Text typed by a programmer which directs the computer what to do.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.
    Basic rules of programming are not hard to digest but rather the complexity of the solutions we try to build and how we maintain them cases trouble in the long run. Programs need to be under control.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    They help and allow the programmer to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Naming only, caused by rather marketing considerations.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript is a standard describing how JavaScript language should work.

  1. A program is a set of instructions telling a computer what to do.

  2. Complexity in programming is a common theme. It can be confusing,frustrating with constant problems arising that need to be fixed. They say; The art of programming is having the ability to control it’s complexity!

  3. They allow for communication with the programmer through human readable code instead of using biary code.

  4. The only relationship between the two is the word “java”. Apart from that they have nothing to do with one another. (It was a very good marketing ploy, if anything.)

  5. ECMAScript is essentially the same thing as JavaScript. They can be used interchangeably.

    It allows the programmer to talk about about the actions the computer has to perform on a higher level.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Javascript has nothing to do with programming language Java and was insipired by marketing considerations rather than technical similarities.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    They are two names for the same language and allows various pieces of software supporting Javascript to communicate with each other.

1- A program is a set of precise instruction telling a computer exactly what to do.

2- Complexity, even via small simple commands, will eventually increase if it is not taken care of. Efficiency and simplicity should be seek.

3- Language has the function to help the programmer to talk about the actions that the PC is been asked to perform in the clearest and most straight forward way possible.

4-There is no relation, Javascript was named thus for some marketing reason.

5- ECMAScript is another name for JavaScript, they are two names of the same language.

  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 memory. Computers themselves can only do stupidly straightforward things. The reason they are useful is that they can do these things incredibly fast. A program can ingeniously combine an enormous number of these simple actions to do very complicated things.

A program is a collection of instructions that can be executed by a computer to perform a specific task.

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming?

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. When a program works it is beautiful.
Many programmers believe that using a small set of well-understood techniques is best. But good to keep exploring.

  1. What function do programming languages have?

The function of programming languages is to write computer programs, which instruct a computer to perform some kind of computation and/or organize the flow of control between external devices.

  1. Java and Javascript are unrelated

  2. After Javascript’s widespread adoption, a standard was written to describe the way the Javascript programming language should work- This doc is called the ECMAScript standard. In practice the terms ECMAScript and Javascript can be used interchangeably.

and clear, but programs built on top of these rules tend to become complex
enough to introduce their own rules and complexity.”
3.Allows programmers to talk about actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level.
4. No relation just marketing.
5.It is a standardization and is the same language as Javascript which is used interchangibly.

  1. What is a program? A program is instructions that tell a computer what to do.
  2. What can you say about complexity in programming? Keep it simple. Complexity management is important in keeping code readable and stable. The more clutter in a program, the more spaces for bugs to hide.
  3. What function do programming languages have? To be able to transform human-readable instructions into binary code that is usable by computers.
  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? Apart from both being programming languages, and both use a pun like a name stating you will be drinking coffee due to your long hours coding, they have nothing in common.
  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? ECMA Script is the international standard documentation on Javascript and it is named after the Ecma International organization. ECMAScript and Javascript are the same languange and can be used interchangibly.

1.

A program is a list of direction given to a computer for execution. It is composed of instuction written in a given language

2.

Complexity in programming is automatic as when programing you add layers on top of layers on top of layers and so on. But the goal of a programmer is to reduce the complexity as much as possible using the best available tool, so in order to keep the command and monitoring of the created/modified program

3.

a programming language is intended to allow human to give direction to CPUs. In a way programming languages are blocks of program ready made to be used by developper. In this sens programming language should help reduce complexity.

4.

both have almost to nothing to do together, Javascript used the existing name of Java because it was popular.

5.

ECMAscript is the same thing as Javascript it is a reference to the organisation ECMA International which produced the standardization of the Ja vascript language

  • What is a program?
    Is the planed wish of thought, building a wish. Is a series of orders given to the computer for execution, is a language used to command a computer or system. Also known as an application or a software, a manager of data and inputs/outputs.

  • What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Complexity can lead to confusions and misleading information even for the creator of the software.

  • What function do programming languages have?
    Provides convenient building blocks, helps omit details, allows defining your own building blocks and makes those blocks easy to compose.

  • What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Only the name, sides that, none. They are not interchangeable, one is dynamic and the other one is static, JS is run only in a browser not Java. Java code is compiled while JS is in text in a web page.

  • What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    They are interchangeable. ECMA being the standard of JS to avoid confusions with Java.

  1. What is a program?
    A program is set of precise instructions given to a computer telling it what to do. A program is a thought recorded in the form of instruction which can be performed repeatedly and at high speed.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Programming languages are based on simple and clear fundamental rules. However as we build programs (which are instructions) based on these rules they can get fairly complex.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages instruct computers what to do.
    Using words and phrases we can instruct the computer to perform tasks at very high speed and with repetition. Manually most of these tasks would not be possible to do.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    JavaScript has no relation to Java programming language. They both came out at the same time and Java used this name for marketing purposes.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript and JavaScript are interchangeable names. ECMAScript refers to the agreed upon standards called ECMAScript Standards.

  1. a program is like a digital machine. the different parts and actions that need to be performed are delegated by the program, to make it function as a whole. these are normally written in a programming language that is an artificially constructed language used to instruct computers.

  2. it tends to be a big problem in programming because the more complex your program is, the bigger the size and the harder it gets to control.

the art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. some programmers believe that this complexity is best managed by using only a small set of well-understood techniques in their programs. They have
composed strict rules (“best practices”) prescribing the form programs should
have. yet, these can also prove to be ineffective.

  1. a programming language is an artificially constructed language used to instruct computers. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
