Syntax is defined as a set of rules governing how a language is structured, and the relationships between words, Just as in English * we don't put an adjective after a noun - "I have a car blue new" is wrong and "I have a new blue car" is correct... * and the placement of the verb affects the meaning of the sentence. "I have a new blue car" is very different from "Have I a new blue car".

So too do programming languages have rules which say how pieces of code must relate to one another, and in what sequence they must be phrased.

What is an informal language that has no syntax rules and is not meant to be compiled or executed?

pseudocode


What is meant by the phrase 'language independent' when talking about pseudo-code?

Pseudo-code is intended to be easily understood by all programmers regardless of the programming language they use. Pseudo-code is not a programming language, it's merely a way of generalising an algorithm in a program-like manner such that the semantics of the algorithm can be easily digested and converted into any language-dependant code. There is no "standard" that dictates the syntax of pseudo-code, thus it is often much more verbose than an actual programming language would be and is typically heavily commented to cater for languages that do not permit ideas to be expressed directly in code. This ensures that the same code can be utilised by any programmer, hence it is language-independent.


When a language has the capability to produce new data type is also called?

New, compared to what? I guess you meant user-defined data-types, which exist in almost every modern programming language.


What is meant by development and deployment in java programming language?

These terms are not limited to Java programming. Development refers to anything having to do with creating a program. Design and implementation fall under this category. Deployment is delivering the program to other people.


What is regular grammar of a switch in C programming language?

Perhaps you meant 'switch statement' instead of 'a switch'?Something like this: -> -> switch () -> { } -> (empty) | -> []; -> | -> case: | default: -> | break;

What is the informal language that programmers use to create models of programs that have no syntax rules and and are not meant to be compiled or executed?

The informal language that programmers use to create models of programs without strict syntax rules is often referred to as "pseudocode." Pseudocode allows developers to outline algorithms and program logic in a way that is easy to read and understand, using a mix of natural language and programming constructs. It serves as a bridge between human thought and formal programming languages, facilitating communication and planning before actual coding begins.

What is the code for go talk?

The term "go talk" could refer to various contexts, such as a programming language or a communication tool. If you are referring to the Go programming language, there isn't a specific "code" for it; rather, you write Go code using its syntax and standard libraries. If you meant something else, please clarify for a more accurate response.


What are the Definitions on programming?

Programming is a term that describes the usage of a programming language. Programming languages (C++ for example) are languages that create programs, these programming languages should not be confused with scripting languages. Scripting languages are languages that are meant to be interpenetrated by programs. (Written in a programming language)
