Coding paradigms

Within a codebase, it is advisable to stick with one paradigm, this is not a hard requirement, but it will simplify many aspects. Functional programming is recommended for most cases.

Another suggestion is to adopt the structured programming paradigm, which is aimed at improving the clarity, quality, and development time by making extensive use of the structured control flow constructs of selection (if/then/else) and repetition (while and for), block structures, and subroutines.
