It defines how tokens (sequences of characters) are combined to form phrases, how phrases are combined to form statements, and how statements are combined to form programs.<\/p>\n<p>The rules of a programming language are called its syntax because they define the <strong>structure<\/strong> of valid programs. The syntax of a programming language is typically defined in a formal grammar, which is a set of rules that specify how the tokens of the language can be combined to form valid programs.<\/p>\n<p>The syntax of a programming language is important because it ensures that programs are well-formed and can be interpreted or compiled correctly. If a program does not follow the rules of the language&#8217;s syntax, it will be considered invalid and will not be able to be executed.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they do not
