This is a programming paradigm where a structured method of creating programs is used. With POP, a problem is broken up into parts and each part is then broken up into further parts, which are known as procedures and are centrally controlled by a main program. A procedure call is used to invoke the procedure. After the sequence is processed, flow of control proceeds right after the position where the call was made. Examples of procedure-oriented languages are COBOL, FORTRAN, Pascal and C.
Example: Consider the problem: "calculate the month end closing balance for an account."
The process is take the starting balance, subtract all the debits and adds all the credits for the period and then you arrive at closing balance. The key point for procedural programming is identification and articulation of the process or steps that must be followed.
In general terms, POP is a methodology for modelling the real world or the problem being solved, by determining the steps and the order of those steps that must be followed in order to reach a desired outcome or specific program state.
