ohjelmalähtöisesti

Ohjelmalähtöisesti refers to a programming paradigm or approach where the primary focus is on the program's execution flow and the sequence of instructions. This contrasts with declarative programming, where the emphasis is on what needs to be achieved rather than how it should be achieved. In a programmatically driven approach, developers explicitly define the steps a computer must take to complete a task. This involves specifying control structures like loops, conditional statements, and function calls, all arranged in a precise order.

This paradigm is fundamental to imperative programming, a widely used style where the program is a series of commands that change the program's state. Languages like C, Java, and Python, while supporting other paradigms, are heavily rooted in imperative and thus programmatically driven principles. The explicit nature of programmatically driven code can make it easier to understand the step-by-step process and to debug by tracing the execution path. However, for complex problems, it can sometimes lead to more verbose code compared to declarative alternatives. The term emphasizes the active role of the program itself in dictating its own behavior.
