1. Programming Paradigms and Procedural Limits

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Programming language : A language used to write instructions and tell a computer how to perform specific tasks.
  • Procedural programming : An approach in which a program is written as a sequence of steps or procedures to solve a problem and executes instructions from top to bottom.

★ Must-know

  • The main limitations are:
    • difficult code reuse
    • increasingly difficult error checking
    • dependence between code sections
    • unsuitability for real-world applications
    • lack of data security
    • difficult maintenance in large programs

Further detail

  • Procedural programming is easy to learn, supports code reuse through functions, and is suitable for small and medium-sized programs.

Memory Hook

Procedural programming follows steps; OOP organizes data and behavior around objects.
