Exercise 4: Improve these sentences
Improve the following sentences. Feel free to rearrange, add, delete, or modify
words as you see fit.
- JavaScript, despite the similarity in name to Java, has
nothing to do with Java and has more to do with marketing,
meaning that the inventors of JavaScript wanted to capitalize
on the popularity of the earlier language.
- It is important to keep in mind that the career of Katherine Johnson
was able to span both the manual calculation era and the time of
computer-based computations.
- Python, which was invented by Guido van Rossum from the Netherlands
in 1991, is a language whose primary data type is the
list (like Lisp) and that emphasizes readability based
on indentation (like FORTRAN).
