* Structured programming is a programming paradigm aimed at improving the clarity, quality, and development time of a computer program by making extensive use of the structured control flow constructs of selection (if/then/else) and repetition (while and for), block structures, and subroutinesIn which the programmer instructs the machine how to change its state, * procedural which groups instructions into procedures, * object-oriented which groups instructions together with the part of the state they operate on,
In which the programmer merely declares properties of the desired result, but not how to compute it. * Markup, Regex, Query (SQL) * functional in which the desired result is declared as the value of a series of function applications, * logic in which the desired result is declared as the answer to a question about a system of facts and rules, * mathematical in which the desired result is declared as the solution of an optimization problem * Symbolic programming is a paradigm that describes programs able to manipulate formulas and program components as data (Lisp, Prolog)
* litterate documentation is integral to the program, and the program is structured following the logic of prose exposition, rather than compiler convenience.
* Process-oriented programming is a programming paradigm that separates the concerns of data structures and the concurrent processes that act upon them
