declarative
Making a statement
Declarative describes statements that declare or assert something as fact, as opposed to asking questions, giving commands, or expressing wishes.
The sky is blue is a declarative sentence.
In computing, declarative programming describes *what* outcome you want rather than *how* to achieve it—you declare the goal and let the system figure out the steps.
