Different programming languages have different syntax. One example of syntax for a programming language is brackets ([]). An example of syntax from a language you know is "I love you." If you speak this language without putting quotation marks around the words, it would sound like this: "I lov e you." But if you speak this language with quotation marks around the words, it would sound like this: " \" I lo v e y o u . \"

Question: You learned that there are many different programming languages, just like there are many different spoken languages throughout the world. And programming languages have certain syntax, or rules, they have to follow in order for the computer to understand the commands. Give one example of syntax for one of the programming languages listed in the unit. Then give two examples of syntax from a language you know. Describe what will happen if you do not follow these rules in your language.

In the Python programming language, an example of syntax is the way you define a function. Here is a simple example: ```python def my_function(): print("Hello, world!") ``` In this example, we use the keyword `def` to declare a function, followed by the function name `my_function`, parentheses `()`, and a colon `:`. The statements inside the function are indented. Now let me give two examples of syntax from the JavaScript language, a language that I know: 1. Declaring a variable using the `const` keyword: ```javascript const myVar = 10; ``` In this example, we use the `const` keyword to declare a constant variable, followed by the variable name `myVar`, an equal sign `=`, the value `10`, and a semi-colon `;`. 2. Declaring a function using the `function` keyword: ```javascript function myFunction() { console.log("Hello, world!"); } ``` In this example, we use the `function` keyword to declare a function, followed by the function name `myFunction`, parentheses `()`, and curly braces `{}`. The statements inside the function are placed within the curly braces. If you do not follow the rules of syntax in your programming language, the computer will not be able to understand the instructions you've provided. This can result in syntax errors or unexpected behavior in your program.
