Programming Paradigms

Programming Paradigms

1. Imperative programming

   • Programs written as instructions, carried out as designed

2. Functional programming

   • Programs define mathematical functions. A solution consists of a series of function calls

3. Logic programming

   • Program uses facts and rules. Program then uses this knowledge to answer queries

4. Event driven programming

   • Subroutines run as responses to an event, e.g. mouse click

5. Object oriented programming

   • Uses objects,classes, encapsulation and instantiation
     • Object
       • An instance of a class
     • Instantiation
       • An object is defined using a class
     • Encapsulation
       • The process of combining a record with the procedures and functions that manipulate it to form a class

6. Inheritance

   • Defining a class and using it to build a hierarchy of descendant classes

7. Polymorphism
