Abstract
Learning how to be programmer and uralitize the programming languages are the crucial point in computer science education. Programming languages are used by the students to write the program. Any machine needs a program to behave artificially intelligent or to perform any specific task. Any computing device is a useless without these programs. As every program is written in some specific programming language. Researchers are putting efforts in devising new languages to meets the goals and requirements of the specific domain of the programs that is going to be written in that language. Every programming language has its own semantics, nuances, and syntax with its pros and cons. For the early stage programmers these language specific details including semantics and syntax are hard to memorize or to familiar with it. Teachers often witness that these language specific barriers e.g., tough and confusing syntax of the language give hard time to students. Students generally stuck in learning the syntax and unconsciously learning programming skills go in back ground. This paper is going to present a Context-Free Grammar of a new programming language for early stage programing learners. In this language the hard part of syntax is relaxed by bring it to something that is close to their day to day communication so that they concentrate on logic and not on syntax.
