![]() Imperative languages have done so by introducing new keywords and standard libraries. ![]() ![]() Sequencing has also undergone some abstraction, although not nearly to the same extent. Resource management (allocating registers and memory) has been the target of vast abstraction, most new languages (imperative as well as functional) have implemented garbage collection to remove resource management from the problem, and lets the programmer focus on the algorithm instead of the book-keeping task of allocating memory. There are two areas that are fundamental to programming a computer - resource management and sequencing. Rather than performing actions in a sequence, they evaluate expressions. ![]() The programmer quite explicitly tells the computer how to perform a task, step-by-step.įunctional programming languages work differently. Programming languages such as C/C++/Java/Python are called imperative programming languages because they consist of sequences of actions.
