Hi,

Which do the concepts control flow, data type, statement, expression and operation belong to? Syntax or semantics?

What is the relation between control flow, data type, statement, expression, operation, function, ...? How a program is built from these primitives level by level?

I would like to understand these primitive concepts and their relations in order to figure out what aspects of a new language should one learn.

Thanks and regards!
