Here are the answers to your questions:
Question 1: Which of the following is NOT considered declarative?
- Answer: Python
Python is primarily a general-purpose, imperative programming language. While it can be used in a declarative style in some contexts (like defining functions or using certain libraries), it is not inherently declarative like HTML, CSS, or SQL.
Question 2: Which of the following is considered imperative?
- Answer: All of the above
Pascal, C++, and Python can all be used in an imperative programming style, where you explicitly define the steps to achieve a result.
Question 3: What makes JavaScript an interesting language in terms of imperative vs declarative?
- Answer: JavaScript can be both imperative or declarative, depending on how it is used.
JavaScript allows for both programming paradigms; you can write imperative code using loops and conditionals, or use declarative paradigms, especially with libraries and frameworks that promote a more declarative style, such as React.
