Programming languages have syntax. Syntax is same as grammar in our English language.
                 The syntax is a set of rules that we need to follow when we write a computer program. Every

                 programming language has its own syntax. But programming language will eventually be
                 converted into a language which computer will understand.

                 Examples of programming languages are C, C++, C#, Python, PHP, Java, JavaScript, R, F#, etc.

                    Give one word answer to the following questions:

                    a.  Name the rule to be followed while writing
                        a computer program.                                                  ................................

                    b.  Name the instructions which are given to a computer to

                        perform a set of activities.                                         ................................






                       At a Glance
                       A lot of our lives rely on coding in one form or other.

                       Traffic lights are devices that control the traffic through the use of colours.
                       Traffic lights are placed at road intersections, pedestrian crossing for smooth traffic flow.
                       Coding or programming is a process of creating codes to instruct a computer to perform a
                       specific task.

                       To communicate with computer, programmers use computer language which is known as
                       programming language.
                       Syntax is a set of rules that we need to follow when we write a computer program.
