Line 2: '''Linear syntax''' is a [[computer programming]] term for an [[Expression (programming)\|expression]] that can be parsed from left to right. Linear syntax implies the ability to write code without the use of [[line feed]] or [[carriage return]] characters. Although the use of such characters is recommended for code readability they are optional, as [[compiler]]s do not rely on them to parse and compile the code. [[HTML]], [[C (programming language)\|C]], and [[SQL]] code are examples of languages that employ linear syntax; they all rely on commas, semicolons, and parentheses to separate code blocks. ~~== SQL syntax ==~~ ~~SELECT ATABLE.ACOL1, ATABLE.ACOL2, ATABLE.ACOL3, BTABLE.BCOL3, CTABLE.CCOL5 FROM ATABLE, BTABLE, CTABLE WHERE ATABLE.ACOL1=BTABLE.ACOL1 AND BTABLE.BCOL5=CTABLE.CCOL1 ORDER BY ATABLE.ACOL3 DESC~~ ~~== HTML syntax ==~~ ~~<html><head><title>Web Page</title></head><body>This is a web page.</body></html>~~ [[Category:Computer programming]]
