Programming paradigm

Programming paradigms are different ways of thinking about how to write computer programs. Think of them like a type of lesson plan for building your computer program. It's like if you were going to make a cake, you'd have to have a plan to put all the ingredients in, the order you'd do that, how to bake it, and how long to bake it. Programming paradigms are like that lesson plan. They give a programmer clear steps to follow and ideas of how to structure their code.
