command syntax
Command syntax refers to the specific way instructions are written for a computer to understand and execute tasks. It includes the command name, options (flags), and arguments (inputs). Proper syntax ensures the computer interprets your commands correctly. For example, in a command like "copy filename.txt /backup," "copy" is the command, "filename.txt" is the file to copy, and "/backup" is the destination. Each system or program has its own syntax rules you follow to communicate effectively with the computer. Understanding syntax helps you perform tasks accurately and efficiently through the command line or scripts.
