I had to solve many tasks of an homework. I have to build a rotating cube with some buttons to apply changes and transformations. There is one task that asks to me "move the transformation matrices from the shaders to the js application" . I know how to build rotating , translating and scaling matrices in the shaders , but what does it mean to move them in the js application. I use to specify shaders in the html file.
Here is my code :

<button id = "ButtonY">Rotate Y</button>
<button id = "ButtonZ">Rotate Z</button>
<button id = "ButtonT">Toggle Rotation</button>

attribute vec4 vPosition;
attribute vec4 vColor;
varying vec4 fColor;
uniform vec3 theta;
void main()
{
// Compute the sines and cosines of theta for each of
// the three axes in one computation.
vec3 angles = radians( theta );
vec3 c = cos( angles );
vec3 s = sin( angles );
// Remember: the matrices are column-major
mat4 rx = mat4( 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0,
0.0, c.x, s.x, 0.0,
0.0, -s.x, c.x, 0.0,
0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 );
mat4 ry = mat4( c.y, 0.0, -s.y, 0.0,
0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0,

mat4 rz = mat4( c.z, s.z, 0.0, 0.0,
-s.z, c.z, 0.0, 0.0,
0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0,
0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 );
fColor = vColor;
gl_Position = rz * ry * rx * vPosition;
gl_Position.z = -gl_Position.z;
