Procedure Oriented Programming (POP)
Procedure Oriented Programming (POP): - In the procedure-oriented
approach, the problem is viewed as a sequence of things to be done such as
reading calculating and printing. A number of functions are written to
accomplish tasks. The primary focus is on functions. Procedure Oriented programming
basically consists of writing a list of instructions for computer to follow,
and organizing these instructions into groups known as functions. Data is used
by various functions.
In a multi- functions program, many
important data items are placed as global. So that very they may be accessed by
all the functions. Each function has its own local data. C, COBOL, FORTRAN,
PASCAL is supported procedure Oriented Programming (POP).

v Features / Characteristics of POP
1.
Importance is on algorithm
or procedure method.
2.
Large program is divided
into smaller program knows as functions.
3.
Most of the functions share global
data.
4.
Data moves openly around the
system from function to function.
5.
Function transform data from
one form to another.
6.
It follows top down
approach.
7.
Data security is low.
