The term "syntactic sugar" refers to a programming language mechanism that replaces a complex notation with a simpler notation, making it easier for programmers to write code. This is done without changing the underlying functionality or behaviour of the code. It is often used to make code more readable and understandable. Shorthand does not necessarily refer to a specific programming language mechanism and is a more general term. Semantic sugar is not a commonly used term in programming, and an API (application programming interface) is a mechanism for communication between different software components.
