What does syntax mean?

Good question!

Syntax in programming refers to the rules for how you write code, kind of like grammar in a language. If you don’t follow the rules (like missing a semicolon or a bracket), the computer won’t understand your code and will show an error.

It might feel a bit strict at first, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature as you progress in your coding journey.

Let me know if you have more questions!
