Syntactic Sugar
In plain terms
Syntax that makes code easier to write or read.
Going deeper
Syntactic sugar provides a more convenient way to express something without adding new capability, just nicer syntax. It sweetens how you write code.
Under the hood
Compiles to the same underlying operations; improves readability without changing semantics.
Examples
List comprehensions, async/await, ternary operators, foreach, arrow functions.
Think of it like...
Like a shorthand that's quicker to write but means exactly the same thing.
