Declarative Programming
Declarative programming is a programming paradigm that expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow. It focuses on what the program should accomplish rather than how to achieve it, using high-level abstractions like constraints, rules, or functions. This contrasts with imperative programming, which specifies step-by-step instructions for execution.
Developers should learn declarative programming to build more maintainable, readable, and scalable code, especially in domains like data processing, user interfaces, and configuration management. It is widely used in SQL for database queries, HTML/CSS for web structure and styling, and functional languages like Haskell, where it simplifies complex logic by emphasizing outcomes over procedures.
