Programming Reading Assignment

“much like BCH”…lol!!!

Javascript Reading Assignment

  1. What is a program? A set of instructions
  2. What can you say about complexity in programming? Complexity and Programming come hand in hand. The goal is to simplify the complexity so that you and others can interpret/understand easily
  3. What function do programming languages have? Enables human beings to read and write sets of instructions without having to use 1s and 0s (binary)
  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript? No Relation except Javascript taking on the Java name as a marketing ploy when Java was popular
    What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?ECMAScript is just the standard version of Javascript
  1. 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 same
    memory.
  2. There should be a s little complexity in programming as possible. You want to reach to the same result, with as little effort in writing the code.
  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. 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. The ECMAScript is a standard document that 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.
  1. What is a program?
    Programming is the act of constructing a program—a set of precise instructions that tell a computer what to do.

  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. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity.

  1. What function do programming languages have?
    Part of the power of programming languages is that they can take care of uninteresting details for us. 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.

  1. 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

  1. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    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. a set of precise instructions to tell a computer what to do
  2. the complexity should be kept as low as possible so that you and other people can easily understand your code
  3. make it easier to write programs
  4. besides the name, the two programming languages have very little in common
  5. is a trademarked scripting-language specification standardized by Ecma International and is basically another term for Javascript

What is a program?
A Program refers to a set of precise instructions that tell a computer what to do. Programming is the act of constructing a program. This can be done through programming language, which is an artificially constructed language used to instruct computers. Much like human languages, computer languages and programming languages allow words and phrases to be combined in new ways to express new concepts.

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.

  1. What is a Program?
    A program is a set of precise instructions that tell a computer what to do. Other can refer as a collection of instructions for performing a specific task that is designed to solve a specific class of problems.
  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    Programming complexity is related to the numerous properties of a software which affect internal interactions of a program and reflected in the tasks achieved.
  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages are set of self-contained modules of codes that accomplish specific function. Therefore, they provide many built in functions that would otherwise require many steps to accomplish.
  4. What is the relationship between Java and JavaScript?
    Java is an OOP programming language while Java Script is an OOP scripting language.
    JavaScript does not create applets or stand-alone applications. In its most common form, JavaScript resides inside HTML documents, and can provide levels of interactivity to web pages that are not achievable with simple HTML.
  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to JavaScript?
    ECMA stands for The European Computer Manufacturers Association then the Association formalised and standardised the JavaScript. The name ECMAScript was a compromise between the organisations involved in standardising the language, especially Netscape and Microsoft.

1.What is a program?

It is a set of instructions that the computer follows in order to execute some of the actions such as open a file, read data from it and to transfer read data to the screen, for example…

Programs are made using something called Programming Language which is a set of syntactic expressions, very close to humans natural written language (English) where programmers can write tasks that computer can execute. These programs are translated by a set of tools such as compilers and others to a set of executable instructions that computers can understand and follow to execute insider yours CPU.

2.What can you say about complexity in programming?

Programming is something naturally complex when it comes to considering that programming languages are capable to allow us to write every kind of computational tasks and as it comes more sophisticated and elaborated it can be very easy for us to fall in a big mess of language structures. Even the programs that are executing tasks correctly, they may not have an ease way to be evolving without considerable efforts!

3.What function do programming languages have?
To promote a way for us to instruct the computer by using a set of reserved words, to execute computational tasks which we called Program.

4.What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

They are completely different languages. Javascript was created at a time when Java was becoming very famous language and so, somebody with marketing reasons has thought that to call this new language as JAVA-script would help to gain popularity.

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

Is the real JavaScript name! Where ECMA is the organization behind the evolution of the Javascript specification.

1.A program is a set of instructions followed by a computer.
2.You need to know a lot of different languages to make a program.
3.How people interact with compiters.
4.There is no direct relatinship.
5.They are the same just different names.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

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

  6. A set of precise instructions that tell a computer what to do.

  7. The art of programming is controlling complexity.

  8. Function of a programming language is to allow programmer to write the actions the computer is to perform at a high level. Reduce detail and provide short cuts and building blocks which are simple to compose.

  9. There is no relationship between Java and JavaScript.

  10. 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 instructions we give the computer to perform a certain task. Those instructions are most often written in a programming language. It can combine simple actions/steps in order to make a computer achieve complex goals/tasks.

  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    It’s easy for a program to achieve a high level of complexity, but the goal of programming is to keep this as simple as possible. New problems will demand new solutions, but a programmer should always aim to strive to keep this under control.

  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Programming languages allow programmers to communicate with the computer, using more readable instructions than the ones they would have to use, if they had to use the binary code. It also allows them to combine those instructions, therefore making the computer able to perform very demanding tasks.

  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Apart from both being programming languages and sharing a somewhat similar name, there isn’t really nothing in common between them. The reason they have a similar name is because Java was a really popular language the time Javascript was created, and their creators wanted to take some of that popularity for Javascript as well, to make it easier to launch it in the market and gain mass adoption.

  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    “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”
    JavaScript is its most well known implementation (there are others, like JScript or ActionScript).

What is a program?
is a set of instruction given to a computer to execute.

What can you say about complexity in programming?
complexity should be avoided as much as possible.

What function do programming languages have?
programming languages helping developers to program computers, creating an higher level of abstraction for binary language, the only one a computer can understand.

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
There is no particular relationship between the 2 languages.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
ECMAScript is the standard definition of the language and Javascript is one of the dialects derived by it.

a program is collection of instructions, oredering your computer to performa a certain task under certain conditions.

Complexity increases as more code and variables are introduced.

The function of a programming language is to solve problems that need to be solved.

Java is a universal coding language to connect different devices. Javascript is a beginner friendly high level programming language

ECMASCRIPT is a set of rules that define javascript

  1. What is a program?
    A program is a sequence of actions executed by a computer’s hardware’s written in a certain programming language.
  2. What can you say about complexity in programming?
    You can say that a good program controls the complexity of actions, whereas a bad program is very difficult to control/write.
  3. What function do programming languages have?
    Their function is to communicate eloquently to the computer’s hardware in order to perform sophisticated tasks.
  4. What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?
    Jacascript is an actual programming language, Java is just a program needed for things not programming. Java jumped on the bandwagon when javascript started gaining popularity in 1995
  5. What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?
    EMCA was the organization that standardized how javascript should be written.

What is a program?

It is a set of instructions written in a computer language that tells the computer how to calculate and interpret what you want it to do.

What can you say about complexity in programming?

The complexity of programs needs to be managed in order to have continuous advancement otherwise programmers can get lost in the maze of code. Good code is often more readable and uses some form of encapsulation (OOP - Object Oriented Programming). Bad code looks archaic and is hard to understand what is going on. Ideally programs should be both readable and writable and not just be a “write only” language like C. One can make up for this in comments when the code is unreadable, but many times programmers forget to do this.

What function do programming languages have?

A function is different from a procedure in that they typically have a return result attached. Other than that, functions are widely varied, but are used typically to do calculations and give a result at the same line as the function call, typically to a variable already defined before the implementation.

On the more general level, programming languages are used to communicate instructions between different platforms.

What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?

None. Someones idea of piggybacking on the popularity of Java in the mid 90’s.

What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?

ECMA is a group who write the standard for how web scripting languages should work. Essentially ECMAScript and Javascript are the same thing.

**What is a program**?

A program is a series of instructions which can be iterated thru as little or as many times you would like; barring insufficient computing power. .

**What can you say about complexity in programming?**

A program can range from simple to complex. However, the goal is to always state instructions in simplest or most forthright manner. It is common courtesy to be mindful of syntax and commenting appropriately.

**What function do programming languages have?**

Programming languages UN-obsure machine language which is binary, so it is more easily readable based on our understanding of language and mathematics.

**What is the relationship between Java and Javascript?**

There is no relationship other than the era it was introduced, its branding was influenced by the success of java.

**What is ECMAScript and how is it related to Javascript?**

ECMAScript is Javascript, but particularly a standard of how Javascript should be written agreed upon by a global organization. This agreement was put in place so JavaScript would be interpreted the same way for widespread adoption.

  1. A program is a set of instructions which tell computers what to do.
  2. The art of programming is keeping the complexity under control. The great program is subdued-made simple in complexity.
  3. Programming languages functions are instructions for computers, easy human communications with computers.
  4. Other than the name, there is nothing a like. They used Java’s popularity to market Javescript.
  5. ECMAscript is basically Javascript used outside Netspace. Same thing used in different environments with different names.
