deklaratyvius

Deklaratyvius is a term often encountered in the realm of programming and computer science, particularly when discussing different programming paradigms. It refers to a style of programming where the programmer specifies what the program should accomplish, rather than explicitly detailing the step-by-step instructions for how to accomplish it. This contrasts with imperative programming, which focuses on describing the control flow and the sequence of commands a computer must perform.

In a deklaratyvius approach, the programmer defines the desired outcome or the end state, and the underlying system or language is responsible for figuring out the most efficient way to reach that state. Examples of deklaratyvius programming include query languages like SQL, where you declare the data you want to retrieve, and declarative user interface frameworks, where you describe the UI's appearance and behavior. Functional programming and logic programming are also often considered deklaratyvius in nature. The emphasis is on the "what" rather than the "how," allowing for potentially more readable and maintainable code, as well as enabling optimizations by the system itself.
