Syntax
Programming languages are similar to human languages. English or many other language uses words, phrases, sentences, compound sentences and other more to convey a meaningful message. The English meaning of syntax is the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language. The technical definition of syntax is the structure of statements in a computer language. Programing languages have syntax.
This syntax is why we call programming coding. Even amongst all the different languages that are out there. Each programming language uses different words in a different structure in how we give it information to get the computer to follow our instructions.
Take e.g of JavaScript is a programming language and like other programming languages it has its own syntax. If we do not write a syntax that JavaScript understands, it will raise different types of errors. We will explore different kinds of errors later. For now, we understood syntax imp in programming😎.
