Dont worry.
Javascript is a add on to the programming language HTML often used on the web.

You dont need to worry about java because thats a computer language.

Answer 2

Java and JavaScript are two completely different languages in both concept and design

Java (developed by Sun Microsystems) is a powerful and much more complex programming language - in the same category as C and C++.

JavaScript gives HTML designers a programming tool to put dynamic text into an HTML page

Answer 3

well my frnd JAVA is server-side scripting language.
whereas JavaScript is client-side Scripting language.
And also Java Script is used for making and designing Webpages whereas Java is used for Network Security and also some websites make java as their backend

Also Java gives more security when the system is operated in LAN.

So both are used for same purpose 1 for creating webpages and their views and the other is used for providing secrity for the websites.
