Orthogonal programming languages
A programming language is orthogonal if its features can be used without thinking about how that usage will affect other features. Pascal is sometimes considered an orthogonal language, while C++ is considered a non-orthogonal language.

Java is kindof orthogonal because public and static go together without any problems".
What is the orthogonality in the programming language give an example?
17 Answers. Orthogonality is the property that means "Changing A does not change B". An example of an orthogonal system would be a radio, where changing the station does not change the volume and vice-versa. A non-orthogonal system would be like a helicopter where changing the speed can change the direction.
