Syntax
I would assume an output statement is statement that outputs to the screen, file, or another source.
Syntax is the rules of the language. English has grammar. Languages have syntax.
Bob go goes home is invalid grammar just as
x = x + + x; is invalid syntax.
Majority of the time your compiler will throw syntax errors meaning it has spotted something that does seem to follow the rules of the language.
The other word that goes with syntax usually is semantics. Which is just the meaning of the statement or the meaning of the sentence.
