4. Sentences: Each line of a program is a sentence.

 

5. Sentence terminator: Each sentence is to be terminated with a ; (semi-colon ) which is called the sentence terminator.

 

6. Keywords: Sentences can contain certain words, which are used for specific purposes. These words are called keywords/ for example, to show a message, the keyword is display. Keywords appearing in all the examples in this courseware are in lowercase and have been italicized.

            display “Veronica.”;

}
