Javascript Programming
#1972

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

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?

Without care a program’s size and complexity will grow out of control leading to confusion. Keeping programs simple is one of the main problems of programming.

  1. What function do programming languages have?

Programs execute a set of steps written by a programmer.

  1. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

There is no connection between Java and Javascript. The similar name was due to marketing decisions rather than good judgement.

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

ECMAScript is a standard document written to describe the way that Javascript language should work so that the various parts of software that claimed to support JavaScript all speak in the same way.

1, a set of instructions for a computer to follow
2, as programming can be complex code should be made as simple and easy to follow as possible
3, programming languages enable us to write programs instructing the computer’s actions
4, no relationship, was simply a piggyback off java’s marketing campaign
5, same language different name

  1. A program is many things. It is a piece of text typed by a programmer. A simple compare with the “real world” is that it´s a machine. Many different parts put in together.
    2.That is main problem because the difficulty is to keep the programs simple.
  2. Simplify the communication between the programmer and “the machine” using a same code.
  3. There is none relationship more than marketing decisions rather than good judgement.
  4. Is a standard document to describe how the Javascript language should work and can be used like a second name for the same language.

1: a set of intructions written by programmer in understandable language to computer to execute very simple task but at very speeds.
2: pragrammers needs to keep program as less complex as possible, more complexity more bugs and erors.
3: function of ninteraction between computer and programmer.
4: nothing incommon.
5: both are exactly same programming language

  1. A program is set of instructions, and in this case, instructions for a computer on how to perform.
  2. Seems like a program should be as simple as possible, otherwise, fixing issues becomes difficult with a more complex program.
  3. The programming languages function is so people can understand the terms used. Instead of trying to understand bionary code.
  4. There’s no connection between them. Just similar names.
  5. Javascript is considered to be the same thing as ECMAScript, but apparently they do have slight differences. They both are considered to be a standard for conformity purposes. .

  1. A program is a set of instructions.

  2. Complexity in programs is not what you want, but rather simple designs are preferred for future fixes and updates.

  3. Program languages are how how we tell a computer to do what we would like it to do. It provides us with a way to communicate with the computer.

  4. Java doesn’t have anything to do with JavaScript.

  5. ECMAScript is the standard version of JavaScript and works interchangeably with each other.

  1. A program is a set of precise instructions, telling a computer what to do.
  2. Programming can be complex, depending on what you want your computer to do, it requires one to learn the “computer language” and the ability to communicate the instructions to cause the computer to do what you want it to do. Almost like a beautiful woman that you meet, but you are not able to communicate with, because you cannot speak her language.
  3. Programming languages gives the programer the ability to communicate with the computer, in a language that is easier to write, and less likely to cause errors, making it easier to to interact with the computer.
  4. Java and Java Script are both programming languages, their relationship is more from a marketing perspective.
  5. Ecma Script was a document written to describe how the JavaScript language should work, to ensure that various software that claimed to support JavaScript were talking about the same languages.

  1. A program is a set of instructions for a computer to carry out.
  2. Programs can become very complex as they are open ended in size.
  3. They take human understood terms and create instructions for a computer.
  4. None except timing and cabbaging on to a name.
  5. They are the same.

  1. What is a program? In my own words, a program is a set of instructions, given to a computer to perform, in a language that the computer and the programmer can understand. The instructions are simple to complex logical conditions and loops.
  2. What can you say about complexity in programming? It is brought about by both the language and the programmer. Complexity means that human errors can cause the program to not behave as intended and program errors may not be as obvious.
  3. What function do programming languages have? It is the interaction, or human readable communication with machines.
  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? Only the name Java. Javascript was so named in an attempt to piggyback n the marketing of the popular Java programming language.
  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript? It is the same language and ECMAScrip and Javascript can be used interchangeably to refer to the same language.

1.What is a program?

It’s a set of instructions telling a computer what to do.

2.What can you say about complexity in programming?

It makes you think and evolve and when you learn it isn’t so complex anymore. Then you found out it is.

3.What function do programming languages have?

They are tool to interact with dumb machines.

4.What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

No relationship actually just same name.

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

It’s a document written to describe how should JavaScript work in order to be compatible with software supporting JavaScript.

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

  2. Programming can be tedious and frustrating, programming is the skill of controlling the complexity.

  3. Languages are used to “instruct” the computers

  4. No real relationship between the two, other than marketing at the time of inception and using the name of a similar and popular product.

  5. It is a document 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.

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

  2. Controlling complexity is the art of programming. Some believe complexity is best managed using basic techniques (rules) in their programs which could make it boring and innefective. But new problems require new solutions and approaches which require you to make mistakes in order to understand them.

  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. Java and Javascript have virtually nothing in common, other than the fact that whoever was marketing Javascript at the time wanted to ride the wave of the success of Java, and we’re stuck with the name.

  5. ECMAScript is a standard document that was written that described how Javascript language should work so the different pieces of software supporting it were all talking the same language. Essentially, it IS Javascript, and the two names can be used interchangeably.

  1. A program is a set of instructions for the computer.

  2. A program can be written in a complex way, but oftentimes there are more clear ways to execute a function within the same program. There is some flexibility, allowing the programmer a good exercise in abstract thinking.

  3. Programming languages essentially allow the programmer to define functions in building blocks in order to achieve a desired outcome.

  4. Java and JavaScript are two separate languages entirely. Java came first, and JavaScript tried to ride the coat-tails of Java’s success by using part of that name in its own.

  5. ECMAScript and JavaScript are the same thing. Specifying ECMAScript just lets programmers know we are actually talking about JavaScript.

3- They are the bridge that connects the human instructions into the computer language
4- There is no relationship except for the name
5- It represents the same language, but the ECMAScript was just the standard version of Javascript

  1. A program is a piece of text that makes the computer do what it does. It is data on the computer’s memory yet it controls the actions performed on this same memory.
  2. The complexity in programming can grow out of control. It is the job of the programmer to control this complexity.
  3. Programming languages allow the programmer to talk about the actions that computer has to perform.
  4. Javascript has virtually nothing to do with Java. The name was simply used for marketing reasons as Java was the most popular programming language at that time.
  5. ECMAScript is a standard that Javascript follows.

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

  2. 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.

  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 has almost nothing to do with the programming language named Java. The similar name was inspired by marketing considerations rather than good judgment.

  5. 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 we’re 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 set of precise instructions that tell a computer what to do.
  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Language based interfaces like BASIC or FORTRAN have largely been replaced by visual interfaces that are easier to learn, but that offer the programmer less freedom. Programming is hard and although the rules can be simple and clear, the programs built on top of those rules can become very complex.
  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. Limits details and enables the programmer to use building blocks to construct programs.
  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    They are both programming languages, but after that, not really related at all.
  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    They are the same now. ECMA created a standardization of JavaScript that can be used on most browsers. The original form was developed only for the Netscape browser.
