Featured Concepts

Functional Programming

Functional programming is a paradigm that treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing state and mutable data. Key concepts include:

  • First-class functions
  • Higher-order functions
  • Pure functions
  • Recursion
  • Immutable data structures

Logic Programming

Logic programming is a paradigm based on formal logic. Programs are written as a set of sentences in logical form, expressing facts and rules about some problem domain. Key concepts include:

  • Prolog language
  • Facts, rules, and queries
  • Backtracking
  • Unification

Imperative Programming Languages

Imperative programming is a paradigm where the program describes a sequence of steps that change the state of the computer. Key concepts include:

  • Variable assignment
  • Control structures (loops, conditionals)
  • Procedures and functions
  • State and mutability

Imperative Scripting Languages

Imperative scripting languages are used for writing scripts that automate tasks. They often emphasize ease of use and speed of development. Key concepts include:

  • Scripting in languages like Python, Bash, and Perl
  • Automation of repetitive tasks
  • String manipulation
  • File I/O operations

Object-Oriented Programming

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a paradigm based on the concept of "objects", which can contain data and code that manipulates the data. Key concepts include:

  • Classes and objects
  • Inheritance
  • Polymorphism
  • Encapsulation
  • Abstraction

Additional Resources

  • Docs/: Contains detailed documentation for each programming language and paradigm covered in this repository.
  • Practice/: Includes additional practice exercises to reinforce learning.
