They are Procedural programming, Modular Programming and Object Oriented Programming . . Procedural programming Procedural means a list of instructions were given to the computer to do something. Procedural programming aims more at procedures.

This emphasis on doing things. Important features of procedural programming • Programs are organized in the form of subroutines or sub programs • All data items are global • Suitable for small sized software application • Difficult to maintain and enhance the program code as any change in data type needs to be propagated to all subroutines that use the same data type. This is time consuming. • Example: FORTRAN and COBOL .
