A programming paradigm is nothing but a style of programming. In one paradigm we may concentrate on the logic, in another, we may stress on the structure or procedure of our program.

C++ is a programming language that uses three such paradigms & hence, is said to be a Multi-Paradigm programming language.

A) Generic - We generalize concepts as templates & reuse them in the source code.

B) Imperative - We work with a sequence of commands so as to change the state of the program.

(Procedural Programming is the most common way this can be done. Structural Programming is a subset of Procedural programming)

C) Object-Oriented - We use classes which are blueprints of objects that share common behavior & properties.

(The focus here is on the data & instructions rather than the process).
