This episode offers an overview of programming paradigms, explaining the need for different styles of programming. It differentiates between procedural, object-oriented, and declarative languages, providing examples and characteristics for each. Key concepts in object-oriented programming like classes, objects, methods, attributes, inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism are defined and illustrated. The episode also explores declarative programming in detail through Prolog, showcasing facts, rules, variables, and the concept of backtracking, alongside its applications in expert systems.
