   Your examples are a little misleading. // Imperative: (essence of it) x = 0; x = x + 1; y = x; // Procedural: x = 0; inc(x); return x; // Functional: return inc(x); // Declarative: select x + 1;

   I exaggerated a little with this randomness. Let me explain: Given the same input Prolog program and imperative (Pascal?) one will give the same results. Because Prolog is imperative. Non-imparative languages give estimated results (actuall

   Which language is not imperative then? The only program writtten in non-imperative language I can think of would return random values (of random type, also not known to mankind, including total destruction and creation of life) and crashed
