When learning JavaScript, a common area of confusion is whether JavaScript is related to Java. JavaScript is a web scripting language that does have syntax similar to the Java programming language. However, while both of these carry “Java” in their names, they are two separate languages.

In this assignment, you will identify the differences between JavaScript and Java.

Tasks:

Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, research and read about the assignment topic. Respond to the following:

Discuss the differences between JavaScript and Java.
List down the chronological details of the origins of JavaScript and Java and identify which has been around for a longer period.
Describe the situations in which JavaScript should be used and those in which Java should be used.

Note: Your response should rely upon at least two sources from professional literature—articles from peer-reviewed journals and relevant textbooks. Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., in APA format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
