Concept

A line oriented programming language interprets the end of line to be the end of an instruction or statement.

Some line oriented languages may support the use of a line continuation character, such as a backslash or tilde symbol.

Examples

The following languages are line oriented:

AWK
BASIC
REXX

Non-line-oriented languages

Non line oriented programming languages utilize a logical statement end, or an end of statement marker, such as a semicolon or dot symbol to mark the line end.

Examples

The following languages are non-line-oriented:
