INTRODUCTION TO SYNTAX

tly.


2. Use proper indentation and spacing for readability.


3. Comment your code to explain complex logic.


4. Use consistent naming conventions for identifiers.


5. Test your code frequently to catch syntax errors early.





Advanced Concepts

1. Syntax Trees

A hierarchical representation of code structure, used by compilers to analyze and execute code.



2. Syntax vs. Semantics

Syntax: Rules about how code should be written.

Semantics: Rules about what the code means.

Example:

X = “10” + 2 # Syntax is correct, but semantics are invalid.



3. Error Handling

Modern IDEs and tools provide syntax highlighting and real-time error detection to help avoid mistakes.



4. Custom Syntax

DSLs (Domain-Specific Languages) allow developers to define custom syntax for specific tasks.
