There are far more than 5 Excel functions. The syntax of different functions vary considerably. There are some things that they would have in common. They are all part of formulas and so they must start with an equals sign. You would then have the name of the function followed immediately by an opening bracket. Most functions will require things inside the brackets. So it is at this point that all the functions differ. Some functions do not require anything inside the brackets. We refer to the items inside the brackets as arguments. A function can have one or more arguments, and some have optional arguments. If there is more than one argument, the different arguments are separated by commas.
This function has no arguments and displays the current date.
=TODAY()
This function sums a total and must have at least one argument, this time showing a range:
=SUM(A4:A10)

Helps in solving compiler error to some extent.I think it is the 'function prototype' what you think of. Syntax is a set of rules that formally describe a programming language.
