declarative language
     
        a general term for a relational language or a functional
        language, as opposed to an imperative language.  imperative
        or procedural languages specify explicit sequences of steps
        to follow to produce a result, while declarative languages
        describe relationships between variables in terms of functions
        or inference rules and the language executor interpreter
        or compiler applies some fixed algorithm to these
        relations to produce a result.  the most common examples of
        declarative languages are logic programming languages such
        as prolog and functional languages like haskell.
     
        see also production system.
