Software development paradigms
Software development paradigms are models that describe how to develop software. Some examples of software development paradigms include: Declarative paradigm Uses mathematical logic, rules, and constraints to describe data properties and desired outcomes Logic programming Uses formal logic to represent knowledge by expressing rules and facts Procedural programming A traditional model that describes how to modify and manipulate variable storage Rapid application development (RAD) An adaptive software development model that was developed in response to plan-driven waterfall processes Agile prototyping model A popular model used when customers don't know the exact project requirements Functional programming A paradigm that uses small, deterministic functions to make code easier to create, test, and debug Imperative programming An early paradigm that modifies the program's state step by step as the program is running
