Summary

Programming paradigms are basic styles of solving problems in code. A programming_paradigm defines how we structure programs and think about control and data. Two broad families are imperative_programming and declarative_programming. Common examples include procedural_programming, object_oriented_programming, functional_programming, and logic_programming. Event-based systems use event_driven_programming. Key ideas include state, functions, objects, and rules. Many languages are multi_paradigm. Remember that each paradigm highlights different building blocks and typical patterns.
