-
A program is a set of instructions telling a computer what to do.
-
Programming is hard. Fundamental rules are simple and clear but programs build on top of these rules can become a complex thing. “…The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.”, says in the book. To achieve that, best practices should be followed, I guess. I am a newbie in programming, totally.
-
Helps a programmer to instruct a computer to perform tasks on a higher level, without having to go through details.
-
Javascript and Java has no relationship. It was selected purely for marketing purposes due to Java’s popularity ages ago.
-
It is a standard document to describe the way the JavaScript language should work. The Ecma International organization did the standardization, therefore it became the ECMAScript standard.
- A program is text typed by a programmer and that program communicates with a computer by executing actions taken by user and reacting to them.
- The complexity is dependent on the programmer, the programming can be very complexed, but it’s the job of the programmer to make sure that code is easy to follow.
- It allows a human to command and understand the code, writing it in binary is impossible.
- There is no relation, it’s was just a marketing ploy.
- Named after ECMA International Organization the ECMA Script is the standard version of JavaScript.
- What is a program?
- A program is a set of instructions that aims to achieve different tasks/operations depending on what we want the computer to do. Programs can be described as data in computers memory which also controls memory actions.
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
- Complexity in programming has one major issue and it is keeping programs under control. Its believed that programming under strict rules might reduce the complexity but it takes a lot of the creativity out. Programming is such a new industry and it evolves daily so it shouldnt be limited to certan rules.
- What function do programming languages have?
- Programming languages allow the programmer to talk about actions the computer has to perform. They provide convenient building blocks and allow the programmer to define new blocks that are also easy to compose.
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
- Java and Javascript are two different programming languages. As Javascript was gaining popularity , Java decided to name their language this way probably following some marketing strategy to get some attention.
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
- ECMAScript is basically a document that describes the way the Javascript language should work. It is just another name for Javascript.
1. What is a program?
A program is code written text(instruction) typed by a person(programmer)on a computer to communicate to perform a certain action.
2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
Over complexed code can lead to big programming problems, this is determined and managed by the programmer. Better to keep it simple, bug free and clean.
3. What function do programming languages have?
It allows the user to communicate with the computer and dictate a set of actions to be carried out.
4. What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
There is no relationship between Java and JavaScript in terms programming similarly.
5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
ECMAScript is a JavaScript standard and it defines the language. Therefore it can be used interchangeable with the name JavaScript.
-
A program is a code/text written by a programmer, with bunch of rules that the computer has to follow and execute. Inputs and Outputs.
-
Controlling complexity is an art and skill, and it’s the main problem of programming. The complexity makes it difficult and problematic, hard to master. But at the same time it gives you a lot of freedom of practice as there are many ways to program and is mastered by trial and error.
-
Without programming language we would still be programming everything in ones (1) and zeros (0). With a programming language we can now “talk” to the computer about the actions it needs to perform on a higher level, closer to English for example. We can use words rather than 1’s and 0’s.
-
They are two different programming languages. JavaScript was introduced to add applications to webpages in Netscape Navigator browser, and Java is just another programming language that used its name for marketing and a free ride to success as JavaScript was being widely adopted.
-
ECMAScript is a standard document to describe the way JavaScript should work, so that developers know what programming language they want their software to support. ECMAScript and JavaScript is the same programming language but with two different names.
- Through the use of various programming languages one can create a program, which essentially is the creation of precise instructions telling a computer what to do given a set of parameters…
- programming complexity is driven by the fact that the artificial languages used to construct programs are heavily reliant on how we communicate with each other as humans. our own connections and communication style affect the way we interpret a task, and relay those instructions to the computer. likewise, a program can be layered upon other programs/entities to process greater complex solutions. In summary, while the components of a program remain constant, the complexity of it’s correlations are directly related to the intricacies of the dev’s construction.
- a programming language is an artificially constructed language used to tell a computer what to do.
- Albeit, while these languages are completely independent of one another and were designed to do different things, the correlation between the two is that they both enhance the functionality of a program beyond it’s native design. Java was designed to handle server-side development, while Javascript was designed to bring more complexity to web development. Both in tandem are excellent skills to acquire for well-rounded programming fluency.
- once javascript gained adoption outside of netscape, a standard doc was created to describe how javascript should work so that the various pieces of software that claim to support javascript were actually referencing the same language
-
A program is a series of tasks or instructions a computer will follow when prompted.
-
Programming can be either simple or complex and can become very complex and large while building it. A good programmer will know how to shorten the complexity of it while still achieving the output.
-
The programming languages all have the same function simply explained input=output.
4)There is no relationship between Java and JavaScript the word Java in JavaScript was used for marketing purposes at the time when Java was popular.
- ECMAScript is what JavaScript is, the language standard which JavaScript uses.
-
A program is an application that runs on a set of precise instructions coded in a language understandable by the computer. It can be useful for performing and automating a specific task, often for solving a given problem.
-
Programming is a challenging skill to learn because it requires the ability to control complexity. The rules of a programming language are clear and simple however when programs grow in complexity with greater functions and interactions it becomes difficult to solve problems that emerge later on.
-
A programming language serves as communication between a human and a machine. It allows programmers to code instructions understandable by humans and are then translated into a machine language.
-
JavaScript is a lightweight programming language used to make web pages interactive. Java is an object-oriented programming language that runs on a virtual machine platform used for creating compiled programs. So besides the name, these programming languages have no relation to each other.
-
ECMAScript is another name for JavaScript, a standard created by the Ecma International organization. This is a standard that JavaScript follows, containing a set of rules, details, and guidelines. These were set so that all .js scripts behave the same way across different platforms and browsers.
- A set of instructions that direct the processes/actions of a computer.
“A program is many things” so it is difficult to define succinctly. - The ability to produce complex programs has increased greatly with time. Programs which can be complex in construction can be beautifully simple in execution.
- A good programming language can help the programmer by simplifying the instructions as much as possible and providing an agreed upon framework for all programmers using the same language.
- There is no meaningful relationship between Java and Javascript. It was a marketing decision based on Java’s ascendancy at the time.
- ECMAScript is the official document to describe how JavaScript should work so that all software using JS are working from same foundation. Essentially another name for JS.
- What is a program?
A computer program is a collection of instructions that can be executed by a computer to perform a specific task
- What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programming complexity** describes the interactions between a number of entities.
- What function do programming languages have?
It is used to write computer programs, which instruct a computer to perform some kind of computation, and/or organize the flow of control between external devices (such as a printer, a robot, or any peripheral).
- What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java
- What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
Is 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.
-
A program is instructions for a computer to run.
-
The complexity of programming can get confusing so try to keep it simple to start with.
-
Programming language helps to tell a computer what to do.
-
None its just a name.
-
ECMAscript is a document that sets standards in javascript.
-
What is a program?
A set of instructions that a computer executes; Data in the computer’s memory, controlling the actions on that same memory; A building of thought. -
What can you say about complexity in programming?
The fundamental rules of programming are clear, but programs built on them introduce their own rules and complexity. It is desirable to create programs “simple in their complexity”, as a central issue in programming is complexity getting out of hand. There is also a trade-off between complexity and simplicity/rigidity, some programmers prefer to adhere to strict rules (best practice), while others find this too restrictive, especially when solving novel issues. -
What function do programming languages have?
It allows programmers to write the instructions for programs on a high level. Programming languages cut out unnecessary details, provide useful building blocks you can define yourself and make it easy to compose those blocks. -
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
They are separate programming languages, when JavaScript was marketed a decision was made to build on the name Java had established. This was purely for marketing purposes and does not indicate similarity beyond naming. -
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
When JavaScript gained wider adoption, ECMAscript was the standard developed for all software running JavaScript. ECMAscript is used synonymously to JavaScript – they are two names for the same language.
1 A set of instructions telling a computer what to do which can perform simple or complex task.
2 Keep programs simple so they remain understandable and maintainable by others.
3 Languages enable you to write computer programs in a human readable form without understanding the underlying architecture of the computer they are compiled on.
- Java is a program language developed by Sun Micro systems and JavaScript was developed by Netscape to embellish the appearance and add dynamic content to web pages. Although similar in name JavaScript has no relationship to Java. JavaScript was originally named LiveScript and renamed JavaScript as a marketing ploy at the time Java was very popular.
5 JavaScript is also known as ECMAScript. ECMAScript is the official JavaScript specification which is developed and maintained by the international standards organization ECMA. Basically the same and more commonly known as JavaScript
What is a program?
a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Programming is complex. There are many many thing that you have to do,. That’s why you need to keep the program under control. Make the program by using only a small set of well-understood techniques.
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.
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
Java was gaining popularity back in the day so someone thought it was a good idea to try to ride along on this success. There is no relationship except for the name.
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAscript is a document that sets standards in javascrip.
They are two names for the same language.
What is a program?
A collection of instruction that can be executed by a computer to perform a specific task.
What can you say about the complexity in programming?
Programming is difficult. While the fundamental rules are simple, programs built on top of these rules tend to be complex. While some programmers manage the complexity of programming through “best practices,” new problems often require new solutions.
What function do programming languages have?
Programming languages help the programmer by allowing them to communicate actions that the computer has to perform on a higher level. Programming languages take care of uninteresting details for the programmers.
What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
There is no direction relationship between Java and JavaScript, except for the name.
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
ECMAScipt is a standard practice that was written to describe the way the JavaScript language should work, so that different pieces of software that supported JavaScript can communicate in the same language. In practice, ECMAScript and JavaScript can be used interchangeably.
What is a program?
Programming is the act of constructing a program — a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do.
A program is a building of thought. It is costless to build, it is weightless, and it grows easily under our typing hands.
What can you say about complexity in programming?
Complexity should be avoided. Programs should be as simple and readable as possible.
What function do programming languages have?
To enable human beings to read and write sets of instructions, without having to read/write them in binary
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
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 (JavaScript) 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.
What is a program? A set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do. These instructions when combined performed a job or function. Programs can produce data and place in memory and can performs actions on this same memory.
What can you say about complexity in programming? Controlling complexity in a program is the art of programming. Keep it simple and you wont get lost in your own code.
What function do programming languages have? Perform many small instructions to complete a job. Humans can communicate with the computer.
What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? Nothing, other than having similar names. The programming languages are not the same.
What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? They are two names for the same language.
1. What is a program?
A program is many things. A program is a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do; or stated slightly differently- a computer program (is) a sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute; “the program required several hundred lines of code.” Source A program is a piece of text typed by a programmer, directing the computer to do what it is doing. It is data in the computer’s memory but also controls actions performed on the same memory. A program is a building of thought.
2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
Without care and intention, a program’s size and complexity can grow out of control and become confusing. The art of programming is the skill of creating a set of sequenced instructions that enables a computer to accomplish what the program is designed to do while controlling and minimizing complexity. Some programmers believe complexity is best controlled by limiting instructions to a standardized set of strict rules or best practices. Many disagree.
3. What function do programming languages have?
There are a number of key functions that programming languages have, such as taking care of uninteresting, monotonous details for us. Completing or processing tasks in seconds that would take “forever” by hand or making a computer do things it could not do otherwise. Programming languages also enable expression or communication of abstract thoughts or thinking in a manifest, transferable way. The best languages also allow the programmer to talk about what actions the computer must perform on a higher-level while being able to omit details.
4. What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
JavaScript has almost nothing to do with the programming language Java. The relationship between the two is cursory and virtually connected in name only. The name was inspired by a marketing/branding effort at the time, not anything technical, functional, or formal.
5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
As JavaScript gained momentum as a language to use to connect programs to websites beyond the Netscape environment exclusively, a standard document was crafted that ensured everyone knew the way JavaScript should work so that they could ensure a common understanding and that any pieces of code claiming to support JavaScript were actually talking about the same language. The standard created was called ECMAScript after the Ecma International organization who did the standardization. JaveScript and ECMAScript can be used interchangeably.
- A program is text that is typed by a programmer, and data in the memory of a computer.
- Complexity should be avoided.
- Programming languages provide us with readable text that is converted to code for processing.
- There is no relationship between Java and JavaScript.
5.ECMAScript and JavaScript are two different names that use the same language and can be used interchangeably.
- A program is a piece of text typed by a programmer that is the directing force that makes the computer do what it does.
- Complexity has to do with the amount of operations that a program has to compute.
- Programming languages make it easier for humans to write instructions that can be interpreted by the computer.
- Java was being heavily marketed and gaining popularity. Someone thought it would be good to ride some of the success so they used the name JavaScript.
- ECMAScript is the same as JavaScript.
