Every Visualforce page must be started with <apex:page> tag. Apex pageblockbuttons Component must be a child of Apex pageblock component, so we added inside <apex:pageblock> tag.
Every <apex:CommandButton> must be written inside <apex:form> tag and the tag must be only one.
We can add location of the buttons as top, bottom and both.
For command buttons we have added action and enter disabled as “true” in the second block, this disables the function of the button.
