'''Syntax''' refers to the allowed patterns of symbols (often [[ASCII]] text) for the input to a program; the term is most often used with [[programming language]]s, in which [[program]]s in a given language are input to a [[compiler]]. However, the term is used for many things in computer. e.g. [[email]] has a standard for syntax in email messages.

The term is often used with [[programming language]] [[source code]], in which [[program]]s in a given language are input to a [[compiler]] or [[interpreter]]. However, the term is used for many things in computers; e.g. [[email]] has a standard for syntax in email messages.
