INTRODUCTION:

MAIN PARADIGM APPROACHES

The following are considered [by whom?] the main programming
paradigms. There is inevitably some overlap in these paradigms
but the main features or identifiable differences are summarized
below:
Imperative Programming Defines computation as
statements that change a program state.
Procedural Programming, Structured ProgrammingSpecifies the steps the program must take to reach the
desired state.
Declarative Programming Defines computation logic
without defining its control flow.
Functional Programming Treats computation as the
evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids state and
mutable data.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) organizes
programs as objects: data structures consisting of data
fields and methods together with their interactions.
Event-Driven Programming The flow of the program is
determined by events, such as sensor outputs or user
actions (mouse clicks, key presses) or messages from other
programs or threads.
Automata-Based Programming A program, or part, is
treated as a model of a finite state machine or any other
formal automaton.
None of the main programming paradigms have a precise,
globally unanimous definition, let alone an official international
standard. Nor is there any agreement on which paradigm
constitutes the best approach to developing software. The
subroutines that actually implement OOP methods might be
ultimately coded in an imperative, functional or procedural style

that might, or might not, directly alter state on behalf of the

invoking program.
