What is Syntax?
In simplest words, Syntax is the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language. In the case of a computer language, the syntax is the structural arrangement of comments, variables, numbers, operators, statements, loops, functions, classes, objects, etc. which helps us understand the meaning or semantics of a computer language.
For E.g. a ‘comment’ is used to explain the functioning of a block of code. It starts with a ‘#’.
