Immediate Execution
Immediate execution is a programming paradigm where code is executed as soon as it is encountered, without waiting for explicit triggers or deferred processing. This contrasts with lazy evaluation or event-driven models, ensuring predictable and sequential flow of operations. It is fundamental to imperative and procedural programming languages, where statements are processed in order from top to bottom.
Developers should understand immediate execution for building applications that require deterministic behavior, such as real-time systems, batch processing, or scripts where order of operations is critical. It is essential in languages like C, Python, or Java for tasks like data transformation, initialization routines, and algorithms that rely on step-by-step computation without delays.
