Java is an OOP programming language. Java code needs to be compiled. Java  run in a virtual machine. Java is a general purpose programming language designed with one mantra in mind. ******* JavaScript code is run on a browser only.  javascript is an OOP scripting language.  JavaScript code are all in text.  javascript is considered one of the big three core components (html, css) of the web.

Java - global purpose language. You can code almost everything. JS - client side scripting language. It's mainly Web Front End oriented.

Thx to you all! I was confused because I first didn't know they are 2 different things and I learned Java on Sololearn and JS on Py. Also the descriptions sound the same at Sololearn.

@Jayzn Don't worry, I know you are new. In fact, there are so so many newbies ask the similar question. I advise you to search Q&A questions or Google it first, before asking some basic questions here.
