A Correct answer
Explanation

Programming languages provide the formal rules (syntax) and vocabulary (keywords, operators) needed to express algorithms precisely. While syntax refers only to the rules, and programming structure is a broader concept, the programming language as a whole encompasses both the rules and words for algorithmic expression. Logic charts are visual tools, not rule-based languages.
