Python: A Medley of Programming Paradigms
Exploring Python's multiple programming paradigms - Imperative, Procedural, Functional and Object Oriented - and their applications through Python examples.Abstract
“There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.”
Despite this - or maybe because of this, python programming can be done in several different programming paradigms; Imperative, Procedural, Functional and Object Oriented.
While, theoretically, most problems can be solved in any paradigm, some problems are most elegantly solved in a particular paradigm.
By understanding different paradigms, their benefits, pitfalls and applications we can streamline, organize and simplify how we think about problems and elegant, maintainable, efficient solutions.
