Further research in the meaning of crises as experienced by the consumers of traditional social casework services -- including attempts to develop a typology of family structures, crisis problems, reaction mechanisms, and differential treatment approaches -- and the establishment of new experimental programs are imperative social needs which should command the best efforts of caseworkers in collaboration with community planners.

ALGOL ( short for ALGOrithmic Language ) is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in the mid 1950s which greatly influenced many other languages and was the standard method for algorithm description used by the ACM, in textbooks, and academic works for the next 30 years and more.

Some operations may change the state of the ADT ; therefore, the order in which operations are evaluated is important, and the same operation on the same entities may have different effects if executed at different times — just like the instructions of a computer, or the commands and procedures of an imperative language.

It emphasizes the application of functions, in contrast to the imperative programming style, which emphasizes changes in state.

While most compilers for imperative programming languages detect pure functions, and perform common-subexpression elimination for pure function calls, they cannot always do this for pre-compiled libraries, which generally do not expose this information, thus preventing optimizations that involve those external functions.

'" He does this, according to some scholarship, using monologue, the imperative mood and alliteration — all of which are specific and effective linguistic tools in both writing and speaking.

Slater, “ these … prologues … have a far more important function than merely to provide information .” Another way in which the servus callidus asserts his power over the play — specifically the other characters in the play — is through his use of the imperative mood.

The primary disadvantage of languages which enforce referential transparency is that it makes the expression of operations that naturally fit a sequence-of-steps imperative programming style more awkward and less concise.

Expected to make use of devices with which listeners could press a button to indicate whether they liked or disliked a particular piece of music, Adorno bristled with distaste and astonishment: “ I reflected that culture was simply the condition that precluded a mentality that tried to measure it .” Thus Adorno suggested using individual interviews to determine listener reactions and, only three months after meeting Lasarzfeld, completed a 160-page memorandum on the Project ’ s topic, “ Music in Radio .” Adorno was primarily interested in how the musical material was affected by its distribution through the medium of radio and thought it imperative to understand how music was affected by its becoming part of daily life.

The XSLT language is declarative: rather than listing an imperative sequence of actions to perform in a stateful environment, template rules only define how to handle a node matching a particular XPath-like pattern, if the processor should happen to encounter one, and the contents of the templates effectively comprise functional expressions that directly represent their evaluated form: the result tree, which is the basis of the processor's output.

He formulated such a principle, called the " categorical imperative ", which would justify an action only if it could be universalized:

These norms will be arbitrary, culturally dependent and ‘ flexible ’, whereas territorial morality aims at rules which are universal and absolute, such as Kant ’ s ‘ categorical imperative ’ and Geisler's graded absolutism.

In computer science, control flow ( or alternatively, flow of control ) refers to the order in which the individual statements, instructions or function calls of an imperative or a declarative program are executed or evaluated.

Within an imperative programming language, a control flow statement is a statement whose execution results in a choice being made as to which of two or more paths should be followed.

These include imperative / despotic languages such as brainfuck, in which instructions describe how to change data ; functional languages such as Unlambda, in which data and code are more or less interchangeable and execution is the repeated application of functions to the results of other functions ; and rewriting languages such as Thue, in which transformation functions are applied to an initial state.
