What is Syntax (Computer Science)?

In computer programming, syntax is a classification of how code is formed and combined to form larger sequences. As it relates to computer programming and language utility, syntax is usually compiled using either a statically typed syntax format, where the code must be checked before deploying it to a program, or dynamically typed, where the code is checked only after the program is running. Normally, statically typed languages are faster to write compared to dynamically typed languages. Different languages use different types of syntax but there are two main syntax formats, graphical or typed.
