Taken from here:

There are several kinds of major programming paradigms:
Imperative: assumes that the computer can maintain through environments of variables any changes in a computation process,
Logical: takes a declarative approach to problem-solving,
Functional: views all subprograms as functions in the mathematical sense, and
Object-Oriented: viewed as separate entities having their own state modified by built in methods.
