   Show answer

   Answer: (2) Python

   उत्तर: (2) Python

   Non-procedural (declarative) languages describe what result is wanted rather than the step-by-step procedure: LISP and ML are functional languages and Prolog is a logic-programming language. Python is essentially a procedural (imperative) language in which programs are written as ordered statements, loops and functions, so it is the one that is NOT non-procedural.
