1.02 Programming Paradigms

This document discusses different programming paradigms including declarative programming, imperative programming, and procedural programming. Declarative programming focuses on describing what a program should do without describing how, while imperative programming describes how a program gets results through sequential execution of instructions. Procedural programming organizes functions into modules and respects the sequence of a program.

the program does it
• It does not handle state*
IMPERATIVE
PROGRAMMING

• It describes how a program gets


results
• It is based on the execution of
commands or instructions that
modify the state of a program
IMPERATIVE •
•
States: Represented by variables
Sequential Order: It represents the use of sequential CPU
PROGRAMMING • Assignments: Pass of information between CPU and memory

Every Instruction is desinged to mutate states/variables,


through assignemnts, in an ordered manner

You say what you

you want it Freedom for the
programmer
MANY
IMPERATIVE
OPTIONES: OOP,
PP
PROCEDURAL PROGRAMMING
(KNOWN BEFORE AS
STRUCTURED PROGRAMMING)

• Procedures as “first class citizens”


• Organization of functions as modules
• Respect for the sequence of a program
