Procedural programming

• What is the structured approach to program design and construction?

  It organizes programs into procedures and subroutines
• What are hierarchy charts used for in programming?

  To design and visualize program structure
• What are the advantages of the structured approach in programming?

  It simplifies testing, debugging, and teamwork
• What are procedures in programming also known as?

  Subroutines or functions
• What does each procedure in a program do?

  It carries out a series of computational steps
• How does Python utilize procedural programming?

  It uses procedural along with other paradigms
• What is top-down problem solving in programming?

  It breaks down problems into smaller parts
• What are the control structures in structured programming?

  • Sequence: executed one after another
  • Selection: executed based on logical tests (e.g., if, else)
  • Iteration: repeated execution while a condition is true (e.g., while, for)
• What is the difference between a function and a procedure?

  A function returns values; a procedure does not
• What is a well-defined procedural program expected to have?

  A single point of entry
• What is the main subroutine in a procedural program?

  It is automatically called when the program runs
• What are the advantages of using subroutines in programming?

  They can be reused and simplify code management
• How can subroutines affect teamwork in programming?

  They allow teams to work on different parts simultaneously
• What is a disadvantage of procedural programming regarding data integrity?

  It focuses on tasks rather than data integrity
• What is a potential issue with using global variables in procedural programming?

  They make tracking changes more difficult
