Imperative programming: History, Regions & Science

In computer science, imperative programming is a software programming paradigm that provides specific instructions for how computations should take place. This paradigm may use statements that may change a process’s state. In much the same way that the imperative mood in natural languages expresses commands, an imperative program consists of commands for…
