Charecteristics and Limitations Of Procedural Oriented Programming for class 9 th

             PROCEDURAL PROGRAMMING

Procedural programming is a programming paradigm, derived from imperative programming, based on the concept of the procedure call. Procedures simply contain a series of computational steps to be carried out.

            PROGRAMMIING PARADIGM

            It is an approach or style of programming that is used to classify the programming languages.

  Characteristics of Procedural Oriented Programming

• Top-down approach.

•  The program is divided into simple blocks called functions. to perform a specific task.

•  It models real-world process as procedures which are operated on data.

•  The data and functions are detached from each other.

•  Data moves freely in the program.

•  Easy to follow the logic of a program.

•  A function can access other function data by calling that function.

Limitations of Procedural Oriented Programming

•   It gives less emphasis (attention) to the data. it mainly focuses on procedures.   

•  Data and functions are separated from each other.

•  It is global data. thus it becomes difficult to debug any errors.

•  changes in data types must be done manually.

•  less and difficult code reusability.

•  It does not model any real-world entities.

•  It doesn't work well for complex or large programs.
