Programming Paradigms

Every computer program needs a style of writing which specifies how to solve a software engineering problem. This style is represented by the paradigm. Each computer program follows one or more paradigm which differs in representing the elements of a program(such as variables and objects) and the steps needed to compute a task.

Diferent paradigms are:

1. Procedural/imperative paradigms: Assembly, C, C++, Java, C#

2. Object Oriented paradigm : C++, Java, Python, Ruby, Scala, C#

3. Functional Paradigm : Lisp, Haskell, Clojure, Scala, OCaml, Ruby

4. Logic Paradigm: Prolog


MultiParadigm Programming

Multiparadigm refers to use of a combination of programming paradigms for solving a computer problem. Some languages subscribe strictly to a single paradigm like Assembly and C. Others like Java, C++, Scala and C# employ more than one paradigm. Every paradigm comes with its own strength and weakness and this quite motivates us to take advantage of each paradigm and use it in a manner that best fits the problem at hand.
