Does the <SMT> command have a meaning?

Or is it just a placeholder?
This was a homework question for my college class and I can't find an answer!

    Hi ...

    <SMT> is simply a marker used in the RAPID language's grammar specification to indicate where a "statement" should be placed. It is not an actual command that you need to type, but rather a placeholder that shows the expected structure of the code, indicating that valid instructions must be inserted there. In other words, <SMT> serves solely to guide the organization of the code in documentation and examples, without having any effect on the program's execution.

    Good Work.
