you know.... I read the article. Then I reread it. Then the first paragraph caught my attention... but it still didn't make any sense. Then I remembered that a lot of the time if you take out the extra words it then it might. --Procedures, also known as routines, subroutines , methods, or functions (not to be confused with mathematical functions, but similar to those used in functional programming ), simply contain a series of computational steps to be carried out. Any given procedure might be called at any point during a program's execution, including by other procedures or itself. Procedural programming is a list or set of instructions telling a computer what to do step by step and how to perform from the first code to the second code. -- turned into: Procedures, also known as routines, subroutines , methods, or functions simply contain a series of computational steps to be carried out.
