Imperative vs. Declarative Javascript

--

Imperative vs. declarative code is easier to understand than you think! Imperative focuses on the "how" whereas declarative abstracts the "how" away and focuses on the "what." Here are two versions of the same lessThan10Filter: one imperative and one declarative.

Imperative = some function I wrote, Declarative = call some function someone else wrote...got it!

So it's really just a layer of abstraction that defers the responsibility of the 'how' to another entity, in this case to the JS engine's implementation of filter, which itself may be a mixture of imperative and declarative programming.
