ProgrammingLanguages

A programming language is a linear or non-linear set of statements that are executed on a computer.

Linear programming language statements are executed in the

order they appear.

Non-Linear programming language statements are executed in a semi-random order. At any particular time, one or more statements are ready to be executed, one of them is chosen at random and then is executed.
