| | Procedural programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Procedures, also known as routines, subroutines, methods, or functions (not to be confused with mathematical functions, but similar to those used in functional programming) simply contain a series of computational steps to be carried out. | | | To be considered a procedural, a programming language should support procedural programming by having an explicit concept of a procedure, and a syntax to define it. | | | Procedural programming is often a better choice than simple sequential or unstructured programming in many situations which involve moderate complexity or which require significant ease of maintainability. |

| | Programming a computer can be performed in one of numerous languages, ranging from a higher-level language to writing directly in low-level machine code (that is, code that more directly controls the specifics of the computer's hardware). | | | Computer programming is one part of a much larger discipline known as software engineering. | | | Computer programming is the craft of writing useful, maintainable, and extensible instructions which can be interpreted by a computing system to perform a meaningful task. |

| | Why Procedural is the Wrong First Paradigm if OOP is the Goal |
| | Procedural Programming: Pascal and Modula-2 were designed to fit as well as possible with the procedural paradigm. | | | In object programming, when the class structure matches the system modeled, this is less of a problem as most system changes involve one or a small number of system components. | | | Students programming in this paradigm are encouraged to think of the RAM of the machine as holding both programs (procedures) and data. |

| | ASP Programming Fundamentals |
| | In procedural programming, the computer is given a set of instructions which it executes, and then waits for input, which it reacts to by executing another set of instructions, and so on. | | | In point of fact, procedural programming is at the heart of all programming, including obect-oriented, but because certain kinds of objects have many characteristics in common (such as windows, for example), it is more convenient to treat them as objects, rather than as sets of instructions. | | | Procedural Programming was the first kind of programming to develop, and involves a relatively simple way of doing things. |

| | Procedural programming is sensible for certain applications; however, as applications become larger or more complex and the interactions between procedures (and the programmers who use them) become more numerous, procedural programs can become unwieldy. | | | Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a different approach to programming, intended to solve some of the development and maintenance problems commonly associated with large procedural programs. | | | The program runs by executing functions and changing variable values, typically for the purpose of handling input and generating output. |

| | The road to better programming: Chapter 5 |
| | OOP is a programming methodology, or general approach to solving problems. | | | In the context of Perl programming, OOP is not essential to using the language. | | | OOP does not work well with the procedural programming methodology because it concentrates on objects, while procedural programming is based on procedures (we will loosely define procedures as functions available without OOP techniques, and methods as functions available only from within objects). |

| | Functional vs. Procedural Programming Language |
| | A procedural program is written as a list of instructions, telling the computer, step-by-step, what to do: Open a file, read a number, multiply by 4, display something. | | | It is the most natural way to tell a computer what to do, and the computer processor's own language, machine code, is procedural, so the translation of the procedural high-level language into machine code is straightforward and efficient. | | | Mathematica is, in essence, a functional programming language that is implemented as a term rewriting system with very extensive pattern-matching capabilities; one can program in Mathematica using the procedural style of programming (e.g., using Do loops) but it is definitely preferable to adopt the functional or rule-based style. |

| | Why I Prefer Procedural/Relational |
| | I generally do not have to do this that often with procedural code, at least not reasonably-well designed code (which may not be the minority, unfortunately). | | | The bottom line is that relational database technology is superior, in my opinion, to programming code (of any paradigm) for the duty of managing complex relationships usually needed in software design. | | | This means that changes to what the formula deals with are less likely to "ripple" to other parts of the programming code or change the larger-scale structure of the code. |

| | OOP Criticism |
| | Garbage collection in procedural programming usually comes about by having the end of a routine or end of the program automatically close out the structures and mark the memory as available for other uses. | | | OOP is more of a program organizational philosophy rather than a set of new external solutions or operations. | | | By the way, I think that components can be done well in procedural contexts, just not in the C and Pascal-like languages often associated with procedural programming. |

| | WDVL: Limitations of Procedural-Oriented Programming |
| | Not only does procedural code have a tendency to be difficult to understand, as it evolves, it becomes even harder to understand, and thus, harder to modify. | | | Unfortunately, there are no great tools for abstraction and modularization in procedural languages...thus, it is hard to add new functionality or change the work flow without going back and modifying all other parts of the program. | | | If you change one bit of code in a procedural-based program, it is likely that you will break three other pieces in some other section that might be stored in some remote library file you'd forgotten all about. |
