1. Syntax: 

VBScript uses a procedural syntax that is similar to Visual Basic. It doesn't require explicit variable declaration and is not strongly typed.

2. Examples:
 
  a. Display a message box:
 
  MsgBox "Hello, World!"

 b. Simple arithmetic calculation:
  
Dim x, y, result
x = 10
y = 5
result = x + y
MsgBox result


   c. Loop through an array and display each element:

 Dim fruits(3)
fruits(0) = "Apple"
fruits(1) = "Banana"
fruits(2) = "Orange"

For Each fruit In fruits
    MsgBox fruit
Next

   d. Read input from the user and display a personalized message:
  
Dim name
name = InputBox("Enter your name:")
MsgBox "Hello, " & name & "!"


   e. Execute a command using the Windows shell:
  
 Dim shell
   Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
   shell.Run "notepad.exe"

These are just a few simple examples to illustrate the usage of VBScript. It can also interact with other Windows components and perform more complex tasks, such as manipulating files, accessing databases, or automating software applications.
