What is the difference between the declarative and procedural programming paradigms? Could you please provide some examples?

What other programming

Answer 1

In procedural approach you encode your instruction to achieve the result. In the declarative approach you define what needs to be solved as the knowledge of solving the problem. Have a look at Procedural or Declarative approach example I implemented in both approaches.

As you would see in the example, in declarative approach, you do not need to instruct HOW to solve the problem.
