    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encapsulation_(computer...

    Some programming language researchers and academics use the first meaning alone or in combination with the second as a distinguishing feature of object-oriented programming, while some programming languages that provide lexical closures view encapsulation as a feature of the language orthogonal to object orientation.

  9. Declarative programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarative_programming

    In computer science, declarative programming is a programming paradigm—a style of building the structure and elements of computer programs—that expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow.
