Introduction to Programming Languages

A structured system of communication used by humans and, in different forms, by some other animals.

Increased capacity to express ideas, improved background for choosing appropriate languages, increased ability to learn new languages, better understanding of the significance of implementation, better use of languages that are already known, and overall advancement of computing.

Syntax refers to the set of rules that determine the arrangement of symbols to form valid structures, such as sentences in natural languages or commands in programming languages.

<p>Semantics concerns the meanings of words, phrases, symbols, and structures. It deals with how the combinations of symbols are interpreted by the speakers of a language or the executors of programming languages.</p> Signup and view all the answers
