FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Syntax is the set of rules that define what the various combinations of symbols mean. This tells the computer how to read the code. Syntax refers to a concept in writing code dealing with a very specific set of words and a very specific order to those words when we give the computer instructions.

Detailed explanation-2: -More Syntax rules for the C Language C is a case-sensitive language so all C instructions must be written in lower case letters. main is not the same as MAIN. All C statements must end with a semicolon. Whitespace is used in C to add blank space and tabs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The syntax also identifies the valid keywords and symbols that a programmer can use to write their source code. And the same way that grammatical rules govern each human language, unique syntax governs each programming language. However, computers are very exacting when it comes to reading code.

Detailed explanation-4: -The syntax of a programming language describes which strings of of characters comprise a valid program. The semantics of a programming language describes what syntactically valid programs mean, what they do. In the larger world of linguistics, syntax is about the form of language, semantics about meaning.

Detailed explanation-5: -To simplify understanding and analyzing a language’s syntax, we separate syntax into three levels: lexical elements, context free syntax, and context sensitive syntax.
