Programming Paradigm Defined

A programming paradigm is the classification, style or way of programming. It is an approach to solve problems by using programming languages. Depending on the language, the difficulty of using a  paradigm differs.

There are several programming languages that use paradigms, but to do this, they need to follow a strategy or methodology. Paradigms are not meant to be mutually exclusive; a single program can feature multiple paradigms. Below is an overview of programming languages and their paradigm methodology.

• Imperative: Programming with an explicit sequence of commands.
• Declarative: Programming by specifying the result a user wants, instead of how to get it.
• Structured: Programming with clean control structures.
• Procedural: Imperative programming with procedure calls.
• Functional: Programming with function calls that avoid any global state.
• Function-Level: Programming with no variables at all.
• Object-Oriented: Programming by defining objects that send messages to each other.
• Event-Driven: Programming with emitters and listeners of asynchronous actions.
• Flow-Driven: Programming processes communicating with each other over predefined channels.
• Logic: Programming by specifying a set of facts and rules. 
• Constraint: Programming by specifying a set of constraints. 
• Aspect-Oriented: Programming cross-cutting concerns applied transparently.
• Reflective: Programming by manipulating the program elements.
• Array: Programming with powerful array operators.
