A:
C/C++ is imperative too.
Edit: Imperative is do this, then do that, then do the next thing and so on. Declarative is, this are the rules, now what's the answer to this question. Google, you'll find plenty of info.

A:
You are confusing the concepts, C and C++ are not declarative languages. Refer to Declarative Programming and Imperative Programming. Basically, with declarative languages (e.g. Prolog), you specifiy what you want to accomplish, without specifying how to accomplish it, which contrasts with imperative languages.
