  1. What is a program?
    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.
  2. 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. You’re building your own
    maze, in a way, and you might just get lost in 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?
    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
  5. 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. What is a program?
    A program is a set of exact instructions for the computer to perform. Programs are created in computer languages and make the computer perform logical tasks that are simple and can be linked together to create more and more complex operations. Programs allow for simple tasks to be done over and over very fast and at the same time saving us lots of time and giving us the power to create an infinite amount of inventions and uses.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Complexity in programming grows as simple tasks are compounded together to perform complicated tasks. As a programmer creates a program the complexity can become confusing and become difficult to fix when a problem occurs. Mistakes are bound to happen and should be taken as learning experiences. It is important to keep good form when programming and make sure your code is easy to follow and read so you have more ability to operate with success as it becomes more complex.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages allow programs to interact with computer data and manipulate information on a binary level for the computer but make it easy for the user to see what is happening in more readable and accessible terms.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Java and Javascript actually have very little to do with each other. Javascript was named similarly for marketing purposes, because Java was very popular at the time.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    ECMAScript and Javascript are synonymous names for the same programming language. The two names may be used interchangeably. The ECMA part of its name was created after the Ecma International organization created a document for the standard way that javascript language should work so that languages that claimed to support javascript were all talking about the same thing.

  1. Program is the set of instructions that you put in your computer.
  2. Programming is hard and complex you really need to gather information online if you don’t find any additional information on what you read right now and don’t forget to rest if you ever feel information doesn’t sync in to you.
  3. It is the way to make it easier to us to understand the computer program.
  4. Marketing strategy like today if you were to compare other bitcoin names like bitcoincash etc. its just a strategy to ride along with the success of bitcoin.
  5. ECMAScript used the same language as the JavaScript.

It’s a set of instructions that the computer receives in order to execute it.

It’s not easy. The code writes by the programmer needs to be clear and organized.

Help the programmer perform actions to the computer in a better and simple way. Also, a good programming language allows you to construct your own building blocks.

There’s no relation between then, just marketing relation.

It’s a standard document that says how JavaScript should work.

1: A program is a set of instructions given to a computer.
2: The complexity in programming is like building your own maze, it’s easy to traverse through it if you know what you’re working with. However it’s even easier to get lost in this maze if you don’t manage to grasp the concepts you’re being introduced to.
3: To simplify the way in which humans give instructions to a computer. Instead of using binary code programming languages use certain syntax which could be easily translated to human language models.
4: There is no technical relationship between Java and Javascript. The name Javascript arose because at the time of it’s launch Java was heavily marketed.
5: ECMA is a standardisation which Javascript follows, so it’s basically the same.

  1. “a set of precise instructions telling a computer what to do”
  2. There are lots of different ways to create a program for a specific objective. Different techniques can be used. It it the programmers task to find the best solution in this complexity.
  3. Programming languages make programs easier to understand at higher level, provide convenient building blocks, allows to create custom building blocks and to put them together.
  4. Java and Javascript are two different programming languages.
  5. ECMAScript is a set of rules for Javascript. In practice both terms can be used interchangeably.

  1. What is a program?
    A piece of text typed by a programmer that is the directing force that makes the computer do what it does. It is data in computer memory - yet controls the actions performed by this same memory. It combines very simple tasks together to produce very complex actions.

  2. What can you say about complexity in language?
    Without care, a programs size and complexity will grow out of control, confusing even the person who created it. This is one of the main obstacles to overcome when designing a good program.

  3. What functions do programming languages have?
    Programming languages allow humans to tell the computer what to do in a simple and systematic way.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
    The name is about the only similarity between the two.

5). What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
ECMAScript is a version of JavaScript.

  1. Programming is writing a set of instructions that tell the program what you wish to perform. In order to do this you must learn and comprehend programming languages that are essentially succinct instructions that can deliver a multitude of outcomes.
  2. A programs complexity and difficulty will only increase if the one programming does not maintain a level or care and thoughtfulness.
  3. Programming languages function as a set of predetermined rules/instructions which communicate with the program/computer/node to deliver a result.
  4. Due to a lazy marketing ploy, JavaScript has no relationship to Java, aside from its name.
  5. These are two different names for the same language.

  1. What is a program?
    A program is many things but mainly a way to solve problems by getting machines to read and execute tasks written in a readable language as frequently as needed.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Programming is complex because of the layers involved. You learn something that might come easily to you, then there is another layer of learning involved to understand something at a deeper level to do a harder function. Then the combination of that complexity has another complexity to understand when combined so that you can solve an even more difficult problem. This all means the learning is endless and you will often struggle to understand things but you must make the effort to read and re-read as much as needed to make these connections in your brain.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages allow the programmer to create functions that the computer needs to perform on a high level. It allows you to omit uninteresting details by giving you building blocks that you can also define and put together to have the computer execute tasks.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Almost non-existent. The only reason why Javascript has the “Java” part is because Java language was being heavily marketed and popular when Javascript came out so someone thought it would be a great idea to label this new script Javascript.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    After JS was adopted outside of Netscape, a standardisation doc was written by Ecma International org so that different software that wanted to support JS could actually do so. This is called the ECMAScript standard after the org that standardised JS. Everyone calls it Javascript but it can also be called ECMAScript and the two can be used interchangeably.

  1. It is a piece of text that direct orders to a computer to perform tasks.
  2. The best programs aren’t the more complex cause you take the risk of get lost in the maze. To control the complexity is the key for a good program. Cause in the other case some programmers get to attached to the rules in order to keep simplicity but there can always be new ways to solve problems. It’s about to keep balance in between those.
  3. Direct computers.
  4. Nothing just for marketing purposes, there was a popular program language called Java so they used to impulse the brand.
  5. Is another language for Java Script, ECMA International Organization created an standard way to use the JS Language so it could work with the majority of nets.

  1. What is a program?

A program is a language. It can be as simple as how a child speaks or as complicated as how a mathematician expresses herself. A series of words and concepts that can be interconnected in different ways depending on the need.

It is text that will provide information and instructions, as detailed as the programmer wants, to a computer to perform specific actions.

  1. What can you say about complexity in programming?

The same program can be expressed in both long and short, unreadable and readable ways. A primitive version of a program can be extremely obscure and hard to understand, whereas a newer one can be almost in English.

  1. 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.

  1. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

Zero. Just the name.

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

When JavaScript began to be adopted outside the Netscape world, a standard document was written to outline exactly how the JavaScript language should work to allow for smooth across the aisle adoption.

ECMA International did the standardization and JavaScript and ECMAScript are two terms that can be interchangeable.
