What is Procedural Programming Language(PPL)

 


Procedural Programming Language.

Procedural Programming might be the primary programming worldview that another engineer will learn. Essentially, the procedural code is the one that straightforwardly trains a gadget on the best way to complete an errand in consistent advances. This worldview utilizes a direct top-down methodology and treats information and techniques as two distinct elements. In view of the idea of a methodology call, Procedural Programming isolates the program into strategies, which are otherwise called schedules or capacities, just containing a progression of steps to be done. 


Basically, Procedural Programming includes recording a rundown of directions to mention to the PC what it ought to do bit by bit to complete the job needing to be done. 

Key Highlights of Procedural Programming 

The vital highlights of procedural writing computer programs are given underneath: 

1)Predefined capacities: A predefined work is normally a guidance distinguished by a name. For the most part, the predefined capacities are incorporated into more elevated level programming dialects, however they are gotten from the library or the vault, as opposed to the program. One illustration of a pre-characterized work is 'charAt()', which looks for a character position in a string. 


2)Nearby Factor: A neighborhood variable is a variable that is proclaimed in the primary structure of a technique and is restricted to the nearby extension it is given. The neighborhood variable must be utilized in the technique it is characterized in, and if it somehow happened to be utilized external the characterized strategy, the code will stop to work. 


3)Worldwide Variable: A worldwide variable is a variable which is proclaimed external all other functions characterized in the code. Because of this, worldwide factors can be utilized in all capacities, in contrast to a neighborhood variable. 


4)Particularity: Measured quality is when two divergent frameworks have two distinct jobs that needs to be done however are assembled to close a bigger assignment first. Each gathering of frameworks at that point would have its own assignments completed in a steady progression until all errands are finished. 


5)Boundary Passing: Boundary Passing is a component used to pass boundaries to capacities, subroutines or techniques. Boundary Passing should be possible through 'pass by esteem', 'pass by reference', 'pass by result', 'pass by esteem result' and 'pass by the name'. 

Advantages and Disadvantages of Procedural Programming

Procedural Programming comes with its own set of pros and cons, some of which are mentioned below.

Advantages

Procedural Programming is excellent for general-purpose programming

The coded simplicity along with ease of implementation of compilers and interpreters

A large variety of books and online course material available on tested algorithms, making it easier to learn along the way

The source code is portable, therefore, it can be used to target a different CPU as well

The code can be reused in different parts of the program, without the need to copy it

Through Procedural Programming technique, the memory requirement also slashes

The program flow can be tracked easily

Disadvantages

The program code is harder to write when Procedural Programming is employed

The Procedural code is often not reusable, which may pose the need to recreate the code if is needed to use in another application

Difficult to relate with real-world objects

The importance is given to the operation rather than the data, which might pose issues in some data-sensitive cases

The data is exposed to the whole program, making it not so much security friendly

There are different types of programming paradigm as we mentioned before, which are nothing but a style of programming. It is important to understand that the paradigm does not cater to a specific language but to the way the program is written. Below is a comparison between Procedural Programming and Object-Oriented Programming.

Inheritance In Java

  Inheritance Inheritance is a process or a mechanism where one class acquire the properties which include methods and fields of another class. With the use of this concept the information is made manageable in a hierarchical order. The class which inherits the properties of another class is known as subclass  or derived class or child class . and the class whose properties are inherited is called as base class or parent class . In java inheritance cannot be achieved until we use extends keyword. Reason to use Inheritance 1 For Method overriding 2 For code reusability  Syntax: class abc { ......... ......... } class xyz extends abc { ......... ......... } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Example //WAP to Demonstrate Inheritance............. import java.io.*; class Superclass { BufferedReader r=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); Double num1,num2; void get() ...

Java - Static variable, static method and static block with example.

Java Static keyword, Static method and Static block........ Questions.......?? 1) What is static keyword , static method() , static block 2) Define static keyword , static method() , static block 3) What do you mean by static keyword , static method() , static block 4)static keyword , static method() , static block in Java ?     1)Static Keyword:- Static keyword in Java Programming language is used for memory management purpose, it indicates that a particular member belong to a type itself, rather than to an instance of that type. As we mentioned above that is used for memory management purpose it means that static keyword gets memory once in the class which help in reduction of the memory, which makes the execution speed of the program fast which is a great advantage of the static keyword. let's take example how static keyword works..... firstly we will see how memory get wasted when we didn't use the static keyword. class company {  int em...
