Syntax of Python

What is Syntax ?

Computers are machines that can interpret your instructions only if you type them in the exact format that the computer expects. This expected format - the spelling, formatting and grammar - is called the 'Syntax'.

For example :

#This function divides two numbers

def divide(x,y):                                                           

return x/y                                                                   

                                                                                   

print("Select Operation : ")                                             

print("1. Add")                                                          

print("2. Subtract")

print("3. Multiply")

print("4. Divide")

This is the syntax.

We will look at how the basic syntax of Python works in the next posts.
