Language construct
A language construct is a syntactically allowable part of a program that may be formed from one or more lexical tokens in accordance with the rules of a programming language. In simpler terms, it is the syntax/way a programming language is written.
The term "language construct" is often used as a synonym for control structure, and should not be confused with a function.
