[1] Declarative -> Programs that specify the desired result rather than how to get to it
[1] Imperative -> Programs with an explicit sequence of commands that update the program state, with or without procedure calls
[1] Low-level -> Programs using the instruction set of a processor
[1] Object-oriented -> Programs using the concepts of class, inheritance, encapsulation and polymorphism
