# Syntax 101

**JM-**'s Syntax is characterized by the facts that it *mixes* 2 programming languages:\
**C** and **C++** and is also [*edgy af*](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=edgy).

### The Incest Rule

The Incest Rule is a principle of **JM-**'s Syntax that reads:

*"Every function has the ability of using and creating other functions inside of its body to achieve its goal."*&#x20;

So technically speaking you could `#def`ine an empty function and use it as\
C-like languages' `main()`.\
\&#xNAN;**\*Important sidenote**: This *kinda* issue has been addressed in the [PIDD](https://jmdash.gitbook.io/jmdash-docs/design-documents/the-post-idd).
