A programming language is a way for
programmers (developers) to communicate with
computers. Programming languages consist of a
set of rules that allows string values to be
converted into various ways of generating
machine code, or, in the case of visual
programming languages, graphical elements.
Syntax is the set of rules that define what the various
combinations of symbols mean. This tells the computer
how to read the code.
