Programmation paradigms

• "A way of programming"
• Common paradigms:
  • Declarative: the program describes its desired results without explicitly listing commands or steps.
  • Imperative: the control flow is an explicit sequence of commands.
  • Functional: the computation proceeds by function calls, no global state
  • Object-oriented: everything is an object, functions are methods and are executed with the object's context
  • Event-driven: the control flow is triggered and determined by async actions
