Programming Paradigms: Procedural, Structural, and Object-Oriented Procedural Programming Procedural programming is a programming paradigm derived from structured programming. It emphasizes a sequence of procedures or routines that operate on data. Programs are divided into small, manageable functions, which can be called at any point during execution. This approach is effective for smaller tasks but can become unwieldy as programs grow in complexity. Common procedural programming languages include C, Pascal, and FORTRAN . Structural Programming Structural programming is a subset of procedural programming that focuses on improving the clarity and quality of code through structured control flow. It utilizes constructs such as sequences, selections, and iterations to control the flow of execution, thereby enhancing readability and maintainability. While it shares similarities with procedural programming, structural programming places a stronger emphasis on the logical structure of ...
