The broad styles in which programs are organised and written. Imperative programming gives the machine explicit steps, structured programming controls those steps with blocks, branches and loops, and object-oriented programming bundles data with the functions that act on it. Functional programming builds programs by composing functions, while declarative and logic programming state what is wanted and leave the method of finding it to the language.

Structured programming is a programming paradigm characterized by source code that uses block-based source code structure to encode control flow such as sequence, selection (i.e. if-then-else and switch) and iteration (i.e. for and while).
