Programming languages are generally classified into three groups, imperative, functional, and logical. The difference is in the style of programming encouraged (or mandated, for older languages) by the language.
Usually the divide is imperative v. declarative with the four major paradigms (procedural, OO and logic, FP respectively) being subgroups of those divisions.
