Programming paradigms
Object-Oriented Programming
1. INTRODUCTION
During developing computer science appeared a huge problem - how explain to computer what people need. Since that moment there were a lot of different and interesting suggestions, but the most suitable solution was creating a programming languages. One of the most colossal type of programming languages is programming paradigm. "A programming paradigm is an approach to programming a computer based on a mathematical theory or a coherent set of principles."(Van Roy 2010). There is a large number of various paradigms in programming languages but four of them is major. These paradigms are: Imperative, Object-Oriented, Functional and Logic paradigms.
2. IMPERATIVE PARADIGM
Imperative programming is a programming paradigm which sequentially execute commands to get a result. Sequence has an important role in Imperative paradigm because with different sequences the result will have a different values. Hence " Imperative programming is characterised by programming with states and commands which modify these states."( http://www3.ul.ie/~library/pdf/citeitright.pdf ,no date). For easier working with Imperative paradigm the sequence of commands can be named. For example if some sequence of commands was named then programmer can trigger it in any place of the program using just name of sequence. Named sequence called subroutines. Imperative paradigm with one or more subroutines called procedural programming.The two most usful imperative languages are Pascal and C. Advantages: Significant feature as well as a main advantage of imperative programming is opportunity to reuse a code which already exist and implement some activities. Disadvantages:
