What Does Procedural Programming Mean?
Procedural programming is a programming paradigm that uses a linear or top-down approach. It relies on procedures or subroutines to perform computations.
Techopedia Explains Procedural Programming
In procedural programming, a program consists of data and modules/procedures that operate on the data. The two are treated as separate entities. In the object-oriented programming (OOP) paradigm, however, a program is built from objects. An object is an instance of a class, which is an encapsulation of data (called fields) and the procedures (called methods) that manipulate them. In most, but not all, cases, the fields can only be accessed or modified through the methods. An object therefore is like a miniature program or a self-contained component, which makes the OOP approach more modularized and thus easier to maintain and extend.
