Nothing! Java is a language originally developed by sun, maintained by Oracle. It is a multiplatform language which is semi compiled which is designed to be heavily object oriented. JavaScript is a scripting language developed (iirc) by Netscape/Mozilla foundation. Designed for the web and run by web browser, it is a interpreted scripting language. Unlike many (most?) programming languages JavaScript is not strongly typed, functions are first class objects and it can be used in am object oriented, functional or procedural style.

JavaScript has nothing to do with Java. when JS was created they named it "JavaScript" so they can attract more Java developers to work on it back in the 90s.

java script is basically the web page version of java, for example java controls the actions of the game and javascript does this to a webpage
