How To Use APEX:COMMANDBUTTON In Visualforce Page?

<apex:commandButton>:

 Buttons are very important in any page and they are the means using which a user interacts with the system to perform some actions such as Save, Update, Create, Delete, Cancel etc... 

This tag helps us to create buttons.The action that has to be executed when the button is pressed depends on the ACTION attribute specified in this tag. The action that is specified needs to be defined in the controller that is used in this pages controller attribute of the page tag. Once the action is performed the page would navigate to a different page or display the same page based on the PageReference variable that is returned by the action.

An < apex:commandButton > component must always be a child component of the < apex:form > tag. 

syntax:
<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save" id="save"/>
