Imperative Languages: Imperative programming languages allow the programmer to express how a task is accomplished, by defining successive steps that must take place to compute the result. Typically these steps involve changing the values of "variables" represented by the contents of memory locations. Procedural and object-oriented languages are the primary form of imperative programming languages.
