| | <b>Imperativeb> programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computer science, <b>imperativeb> programming, as opposed to declarative programming, is a programming paradigm that describes computation in terms of a program state and statements that change the program state. | | | Logical programming languages, like Prolog, are often thought of as defining "what" is to be computed, rather than "how" the computation is to take place, as an <b>imperativeb> programming language does. | | | <b>Imperativeb> programming languages stand in contrast to other types of languages, such as functional and logical programming languages. |

| | Functional programming - definition of Functional programming in Encyclopedia |
| | A much-improved functional programming language was LISP, developed by John McCarthy while at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the IBM 700/7000 series scientific computers in the late 1950s. | | | For programs which spend most of their time doing numerical computations, some functional languages (such as OCaml and Clean) can approach C speed, while for programs that handle large matrices and multidimensional databases, array functional languages (such as J and K) are usually faster than most non-optimized C programs. | | | Furthermore, functional programming languages are likely to enforce referential transparency, which is the familiar notion that 'equals can be substituted for equals': if two expressions are defined to have equal values, then one can be substituted for the other in any larger expression without affecting the result of the computation. |

| | The <b>Imperativeb> Programming Paradigm |
| | The <b>imperativeb> programming paradigm is an abstraction of real computers which in turn are based on the Turing machine and the Von Neumann machine with its registers and store (memory). | | | Most descriptions of <b>imperativeb> programming languages are tied to hardware and implementation considerations where a name is bound to an address, a variable to a storage cell, and a value to a bit pattern. | | | <b>Imperativeb> programming languages with their emphasis on the sequential evaluation of commands often fail to provide a similar sequentiality to the evaluation of expressions. |

| | Computer Aids for VLSI Design |
| | <b>Imperativeb> programs are the kind that most programmers know best: algorithms that execute sequentially from one statement to the next. | | | In a graphic design system, <b>imperativeb> programming can be used to control layout sequences so that the designer is freed from repetitious tasks. | | | In order to develop a complex program it is important to view that program hierarchically (so the lesson of VLSI design comes full circle and teaches about programming!). |

| | Encyclopedia article on Functional programming [EncycloZine] |
| | Functional programming can be contrasted with <b>imperativeb> programming. | | | As modern <b>imperativeb> languages and their implementations have started to include greater emphasis on correctness, rather than raw speed, and the implementations of functional languages have begun to emphasise speed as well as correctness, the performance of functional languages and <b>imperativeb> languages has begun to converge. | | | This difficulty, along with the fact that functional programming environments do not have the extensive tools and libraries available for traditional programming languages, are among the main reasons that functional programming has received little use in the software industry. |

| | MyXaml Wiki - Declarative Vs <b>Imperativeb> Programming |
| | Even if they aren't correct, understanding the differences between declarative and <b>imperativeb> programming is an educational experience because it gives you a different way of looking at how you program. | | | Most introductions to programming (and even accepted techniques, like using the Visual Studio designer) create programs that embed both declarative and <b>imperativeb> aspects in code. | | | When taken to its logical conclusion, large programs end up with a lot of entanglement between the <b>imperativeb> parts and the declarative parts. |

| | Good programming skills are essential, and we assume some knowledge of C. You should plan to complete about a dozen programming assignments over the course of the term. | | | You will learn to ask questions about language safety and classification of errors, type systems, formal semantics, abstraction mechanisms for both functions and data, and memory management. | | | The goal of the course is to give you intellectual tools that will help you use, evaluate, choose, and design programming languages. |
