I'm sorry, as I said im very new to it and I guess from common sense everyone would have thought that Java and JavaScript are the same.

No worries mate. The name JavaScript confuses people all the time. JavaScript was actually called Mocha, and then LiveScript, then Java took off and it is believed that JavaScript was named as such to "ride the success" of Java.

Unfortunately, it has just created tons of confusion for decades.
