Syntax is the general rules for how code is written. If programming languages were human languages, the programming languages syntax would be called grammar.
The syntax of most programming languages and game programming languages fall into two major categories : BASIC -syntax and C-syntax.
Case Sensitivity
Programming languages are case sensitive or not case sensitive. If a programming language is case sensitive, identifiers with different upper and lower case letters are counted as different identifiers.
In general, programming languages that use C-style syntax are case sensitive, while those based on BASIC are not.
The following programming languages are case sensitive.
The following programming languages are not case sensitive.
Exceptions
- CBM BASIC can be said not to have case sensitivity. Letters can either be all upper or lower case at the same time. One or the other, never both.
