1. What is a program?
Is a writing of statements or commands that instruct the computer how to process data.
Is like a set of instructions that process input, manipulate data, and output a result.

2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
Yes, if you got a complex task you need to code a complex program, combining many small instructions it can result on wonderful results.
There is a balance between complexity and simplicity to writing good programs, but it can even confuse the programmer who wrote it.

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. 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.

4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
JavaScript has nothing to do with Java, The name was inspired by marketing rather than good judgement and was chosen because at the same time the Java language was gaining popularity.

5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is a standard document that was written to describe the way that the JavaScript language should work. its the same language.

  1. What is a program?

A program is a piece of text that make the computer do things, store data in the memory and control actions performed by the memory. A program can combine many simple actions to make the computer perform complicated things.

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming?

The size and complexity of programming can grow and be hard to manage, it needs some skill for controlling, getting a good knowledge of best practices and follow them accordingly.

  1. What function do programming languages have?

Programming languages help by allowing programmers to communicate actions that computers has to perform providing convenient building blocks, allows for define new and make them easy to compose.

  1. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

There is no relationship between the two languages. Was just a marking glitch and no one had the cojones to fix it.

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

ECMAScript is another name for Javascript. ECMA organisation wrote a paper for standardise JavaScript so various pieces of software that implement JavaScript can talk the same language.

1.) Programs are text written by programmers to instruct a computer to do something when given certain inputs.
2.) Program complexity is dependent on how well you know how to code. There are many different ways to write the same program. New programmers could instruct the computer to do something with many lines of code, whereas an experienced programmer could write the same thing with less lines of code.
3.) Programming languages are used to help the programmer create what they want while providing them with an easier route to the output they are looking for by omitting details, providing building blocks, and making code easy to compose.
4.) No relation. JavaScript “stole” the name from Java in order to ride the same wave Java was on.
5.) ECMAScript and JavaScript are the same language, only different ways to say it.

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

  2. Programming has basic rules that if not managed and controlled appropriately will become very complex.

3.The language provides communication to the computer for its actions based on the memory location and the value of count.

  1. Javasript has no relation to Java.

  2. ECMAScript is another name for JavaScript and was a standard document created to describe the way JavaScript language should work with other software. They can be used interchangeably.

  1. A set of instructions a computer must execute
  2. Programming should be laid out as simple as possible
  3. Language is important because it presents a coder with an understandable language to create instructions for a computer to follow instead of having to write these instructions in binary form.
  4. Java and JavaScript are two seperate and different entities. JavaScript named itself similar to Java to benefit from Java’s rise.
  5. ECMAScript is a subset of JavaScript.

  1. What is a program?
    It is code typed by a programmer to make the computer execute instructions that
    can be like the gears of a fine machine.
  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Complexity can make a program become unruly. Programs need to coded with an
    eye toward reining in complexity in order to keep
    control of it and be able to understand what one has written later. (Of course, use of
    comments is helpful here).
  3. What function do programming languages have?
    A good programming language enables the programmer to describe at a high level
    what steps need to be taken.
  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    There is almost no relationship between Java and Javascript. It is mainly a a
    marketing purpose that the language was named Javascript.
  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript and Javascript are the same thing.

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming?

Programming is a skill of controlling the complexity. A great program is made simple in it’s complexity.

  1. What function do programming languages have?

Programming allows us to give the computer instructions and it execute these instructions at incredibly high speed. Programming language also convert normal language in binary code. Programming language takes care of the boring details and and it makes the computer do what it does.

  1. What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?

There is absolutely no relationship between Java and JavaScript. The similar name was inspired by marketing considerations. They thought hat the name will sell better.

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

They are to names of the same language. The ECMAScript is used in stead of JavaScript so that we don’t confuse Java with JavaScript.

  1. A program is many things, a piece of text created by a programmer, making a computer do what the programmer has instructed it to do.

  2. It puts the instructions into a sequence of events, and a good language allows the programmer to talk about the actions that the computer has to perform, providing the building blocks.

  3. Next to nothing, Java is the programming language, and Javascript was introduced on 95 as a way to add programs to Netscape. Java has nothing to do with Javascript, and was adopted purely for marketing reasons.

  4. ECMAScript is a standard document which describes how various pieces of software support the JavaScript language after its wider adoption outside of Netscape. ECMAScript and JavaScript can be interchanged.

  2. As a beginner to Java Script, I red through the first four chapters and it is complex and sensible when red a couple of times. As a 58 year young man I look forward to learning as much as I can with this type of programming.
  3. A function is a block of organized, reusable code that is used to perform a single, related action. Different programming languages name them differently, for example functions, methods, sub routines and procedures.
  4. JavaScript is a way to add programs to web pages in browsers and add various forms of interactivity and cleverness while Java has little to do with the JavaScript. Java is an Object Orientated Programming Language.
  5. ECMAScript was the widely suggested version in the time of JavaScript’s ascent to dominance. JavaScript is the most popular implementations of ECMAScript.

  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. Sort of like a machine—lots of separate parts tend to be involved, and to make the whole thing tick, we have to consider the ways in which these parts interconnect and contribute to the
    operation of the whole.

  2. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. The great program
    is subdued—made simple in its complexity.

  3. 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

  4. Javascript is a way to add programs to webpages in web browsers. Java is a programming language.
    Javascript acted as if it was Java because of Java’s marketing, and ran with it.

5.ECMAScript is the same as javascript. Two names for the same language.
