	Imperative programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In much the same way as the imperative mood in natural languages expresses commands to take action, imperative programs are a sequence of commands for the computer to perform.
		The hardware implementation of almost all computers is imperative; nearly all computer hardware is designed to execute machine code, which is native to the computer, written in the imperative style.
		High-level imperative languages, in addition, permit the evaluation of complex expressions, which may consist of a combination of arithmetic operations and function evaluations, and the assignment of the resulting value to memory.

	Grammatical mood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Grammatical mood per se is not the same thing as grammatical tense or grammatical aspect, although these concepts are conflated to some degree in many languages, including English and most other modern Indo-European languages, insofar as the same word patterns are used to express more than one of these concepts at the same time.
		This is unusual; in Finnish, for example, the conditional mood is used both in the main and the subordinate clauses.
		The conditional mood does not express uncertainty; this is a distinct mood, the potential mood, which is expressed with the words "probably" or "may" in English.

	Using Verb Moods
		A verb may be in one of three moods: the indicative mood, the imperative mood, and the subjunctive mood.

	Mood and the analysis of non-declarative sentences
		Normally, in using an imperative, the speaker has some specific person (typically, either herself or her hearer) in mind, and expects the hearer to recognise who this is and interpret the utterance accordingly.
		Advice and permission belong to the other broad category of imperative utterances, in which the semantic indeterminacy is resolved in favour of the hearer: the speaker communicates that the state of affairs described is desirable not from her own point of view but from her hearer's.
		The intrinsic semantic properties of imperative form are characterisable in terms of a complex propositional attitude, itself analysable into two more elementary attitudes: the belief that a certain state of affairs is potential, and the belief that it is desirable.

		By and large, it is used for situations when facts and reality, as opposed to guesses, wishes, or imagined situations, are the content of a sentence or clause, though this is not invariably the case, and often purely conventional use of moods is the real explanation for a particular instance.
