Summary

A programming_language is a set of rules to write source_code. It defines syntax and semantics. Code uses variables, data_types, and operators. Flow is controlled with control_flow like conditionals and loops. Reuse comes from functions and modules. Programs run via a compiler or an interpreter in a runtime. Common helpers live in the standard_library. You edit in an integrated_development_environment or text_editor. Practice includes testing, debugging, and version_control. Remember keywords, structure, and typical syntax.
