Def.: The structure of statements or elements in a computer language.
Syntax is the vocabluary, punktuation and gramma of a programming language.
It contains keywords which are the language vocabulary.
For example var, function, if, etc. They all have special meanings.
Def.: A value is a particular number or quantity that can replace a symbol such as 'x' or 'y' in a mathematical expression.
Values are the data in your program. They can be numbers like 255 or 19.5 (called int (whole numbers) or float (decimal)).
They can be letters like 'score' or "item" (called string).
Or they can be statments like true or false (boolean).
Def.: Something that is variable changes quite often, and there usually seems to be no fixed pattern to these changes.
