14 Programming Paradigm

The document outlines various programming paradigms, including Imperative, Declarative, Object-Oriented, Event-Driven, and Functional programming, along with their characteristics and common usage in JavaScript. It contrasts Imperative and Declarative programming, explaining their approaches to coding, and provides analogies for understanding each paradigm. Additionally, it highlights the increasing popularity of Functional programming and the significance of Event-Driven programming in modern JavaScript development.

Programming Paradigm:

1. Imperative Paradigm
Procedural Programming
Structured Programming
2. Declarative Paradigm
Functional Programming
Reactive Programming (e.g., RxJS)
3. Object-Oriented Programming
Class-based
Prototype-based
4. Event-Driven Programming
Based on event listeners, callbacks, DOM events, etc.
5. Asynchronous Programming (cross-paradigm)
Callback-based
Promise-based
async/await (syntactic sugar over Promises)
A programming paradigm is a style or way of programming.

Common paradigms include:

1. Imperative programming (writing step-by-step instructions)

2. Declarative Programming (What it is: Focuses on what to do, not how to do it.)

3. Event-driven programming (responding to events like clicks or messages)

4. Functional programming (using functions as the core building blocks)

5. Object-oriented programming (organizing code around objects)


Most Used Programming Paradigm:
Paradigm Common in JS? Description
Writing step-by-step logic like loops,
1. Imperative Programming Very common
conditionals, and variable updates.
What it is: Focuses on what to do, not how
2. Declarative Programming Very common to do it. Seen in Array.map, JSX in React,
etc.
Central to DOM events, and browser
3. Event-Driven Programming Core in JS
interactivity.
Emphasized in modern JS with arrow
functions, map, filter, reduce, immutability,
4. Functional Programming Increasingly popular
etc and avoid shared state & side effects
etc.
JavaScript supports both prototype-based
5. Object-Oriented Programming Still widely used and class-based OOP. Used in frameworks
and app architecture.
Imperative Programming v/s Declarative Programming:

Concept: You tell the computer how to Concept: You describe what you want, not how
do something step by step. to do it.

Think of it like: Giving someone exact Think of it like: Ordering a coffee — you just say
instructions to make a sandwich — "I want a cappuccino", you don't explain how to
one step at a time. make it.
Event-Driven Programming

Concept: Code responds to events like button clicks, form submissions, or messages.

Think of it like: A doorbell — your action (pressing the bell) triggers a response
(someone answers).
Functional Programming

Concept: Uses pure functions, avoids changing variables, and focuses on data
transformation.

Think of it like: A machine that always gives the same output for the same input.
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

Concept: Organize code into objects with properties (data) and methods (behavior).

Think of it like: A car object — it has properties (color, brand) and methods (drive()).
