Syntax
The rules that define how code must be written in a specific programming language — the grammar of code.
Definition
The rules that define how code must be written in a specific programming language — the grammar of code. Each language has its own syntax for variables, functions, loops, and other structures.
Example
In Python, you define a function with def greet(): — in JavaScript, you write function greet() {}. Same concept, different syntax.
