Definitions of imperative language words

noun Technical meaning of imperative language (language) Any programming language that specifies explicit manipulation of the state of the computer system, not to be confused with a procedural language, which specifies an explicit sequence of steps to perform. An example of an imperative (but non-procedural) language is a data manipulation language for a relational database management system. This specifies changes to the database but does not necessarily require anyone to specify a sequence of steps. Both contrast with declarative languages, which specify neither explicit state manipulation nor a sequence of steps. 1
noun imperative language (computing) Any programming language that consists (mostly) of a series of commands, typically assigning values to objects; a procedural language. 0
