Study Notes
Programming Paradigms
- A programming paradigm is a fundamental style or approach to programming that encompasses a set of principles, concepts, and practices for designing and structuring computer programs.
- It provides a framework for developers, consisting of certain structures, features, and opinions about how common programming problems should be tackled.
Types of Programming Paradigms
- Procedural Programming: a derivation of imperative programming that adds the feature of functions, also known as “procedures” or “subroutines”.
- Functional Programming: a declarative paradigm that applies pure functions in sequence to solve complex problems, focusing on what to solve and using expressions instead of statements.
- Declarative Programming: focuses on describing the desired outcome or result, rather than explicitly specifying the steps to achieve that outcome.
- Object-Oriented Programming: builds entire programs using classes and objects.
- Imperative Programming: focuses on describing how a program operates by giving a sequence of statements that change a program’s state.
Key Concepts
- Abstraction: a concept in programming and computer science that refers to the effort of hiding details and main complexities of a system or process, simplifying or making a thing easier to understand.
- Scalability: the ability of a system, application, or project to grow and adjust to an increase or change in the amount of work or information it needs to handle.
- Evolution and Innovation: allows embracing new technologies, programming paradigms, and necessary changes, seamlessly integrating with emerging trends and technological advancements.
Importance of Programming Design
- Language Design: influences how software is written, understood, and maintained, and is important in the field of computer science and programming.
- Expressiveness and Readability: a well-designed language provides expressive syntax and semantics, allowing developers to express complex ideas concisely.
- Productivity: well-designed languages often support portability, allowing code to run on different platforms with minimal modification.
- Safety and Security: language design influences the ability to write secure and robust code, featuring strong typing, memory safety, and built-in security mechanisms.
