Answer 4

This is a potential interview question :) .
Java - It is a programming language used for creating desktop applications or others. To compile java based programs you need JDK+JRE set up in your computer. Since java is pure object oriented programming language everything you do is under a class.

On the other hand, Javascript is a client side programming language. You don't need anything except a browser for running a script. In javascript everything is objects/functions. There is no concept of classes.

Java uses block-based scoping; JavaScript uses function-based scoping.
