Essay On Non Imperative Language

776 Words4 Pages

Hi! Everyone and thank you for reading this post!
This forum post is about the description of the differences between an imperative programming language and a non-imperative programming language along with an example of each type of them. I will discuss examples of where I would use an imperative language as well as a situation where a non-imperative language would be preferred. I will conclude by explaining why the selected language makes sense depending on the situation where the choice is made.
According to my understanding, programming languages can be seen as a computer language that helps create standard form of commands. I.e. a form of language used to write instructional codes that the computer can understand and execute. There are basically two types of programming languages: imperative programming languages and non-imperative programming languages.

If your tasks should be based upon certain requirements that you should define yourself, i.e. you’re telling the computer what to do and how to do it; you probably would choose an imperative programming language to do that as described in the first situation above. But if you kind of want to describe the tasks which you want to be accomplished and manage them in a way to find the result you need, you would probably choose a non-imperative language to do that as described in the second situation above.
Brief review:
Imperative programming languages focus on how the program should follow its tasks, while non-imperative programming languages just tell the program what it needs to do, instead of how to do it.
An example of a situation where an imperative programming language would be preferred is in creating a database, while an example of a situation where a non-imperative programming language would be preferred is doing accounting based upon a set of

    He, who cannot read or understand Chinese, is then given a second set of sheets written in Chinese, called a “story”, and a set of rules written in English (the “program”). The rules explain how he can compare the second set of Chinese symbols to the first set, thereby allowing him to identify symbols by their shapes. A third set of Chinese writing (the “questions”), along with rules in English, is delivered to him. The rules lay out how Searle can provide the correct Chinese symbols needed to answer these questions through a comparison of the “script” and the “story”. He explains that he could become so proficient at computing using this method that his answers would seem like they were written by a fluent Chinese speaker, even though he cannot read, write, or speak a word of Chinese (352b-353a¶5).
