What is procedural programming?

Procedural programming is a programming paradigm based on the concept of procedure calls, where the logic of the program is built around procedures or routines (also known as functions or subroutines). In this approach, code is organized into reusable blocks that perform specific tasks, and the flow of the program is controlled through sequences of these procedure calls. Procedural programming emphasizes a step-by-step approach to solving problems and is commonly used in languages like C, Pascal, and Fortran. It is contrasted with object-oriented programming, which organizes code around objects and data rather than procedures.
