  imperative language
       
           Any programming language that specifies explicit
          manipulation of the state of the computer system, not to be
          confused with a procedural language.
       
          An example of an imperative (but non-procedural) language is a
          data manipulation language for a relational database
          management system.  This specifies changes to the database
          but does not necessarily require anyone to specify a sequence
          of steps.
