Q. What is Procedure-Oriented Programming?

Answer:-

- Conventional programming using high level languages such as COBOL,FORTAN and C, is commonly known as Procedure-Oriented Programming (POP).

- In the Procedure-Oriented approach the problem is viewed as a sequence of thing to be done such as reading, calculating and printing.

- A number of Functions are written to complete these task.

- The Primary focus is on functions. A typical Program structure for Procedural Programming is shown in fig.

- Procedure-Oriented Programming basically consists of writing list of instructions for the computer to follow.

-> This instructions groups known as Functions.

-> We normally use a Flow Chart to organize these action and represent the flow of control from one action to another.

-> In a multi function Program many important data items are placed as global so that they may be accessed by all the functions.

Each Function may have its own local data.
