What is Syntax in Programming?
Understanding Syntax
- The speaker introduces the concept of syntax, explaining it as the way programming languages are structured and written, similar to how different human languages have their own grammatical rules.
- Different languages have unique writing styles; for instance, some read from back to front or top to bottom. This analogy helps illustrate that programming languages also have distinct syntactical structures.
- Syntax in programming refers specifically to the rules governing how code is written, including special keywords and sentence structures necessary for creating algorithms.
- Various programming languages impose different requirements on syntax; for example, some require a semicolon at the end of each statement while others do not. Additionally, certain languages necessitate data type definitions while others are more flexible.
