In procedural languages, the program statements are executed sequentially according to the programming logic. As programs get more complex, they become unmanageable. This is the disadvantage of Procedural languages. Example: C, FORTRAN, COBOL, Pascal, etc. Object Oriented. These languages divide the programs into objects. Every object has its own properties and actions. This approach has several advantages such as easy division of program into modules, reusability of existing code, clarity, etc.
characteristics of Procedure Oriented Language which are follows:
a) IT uses Top Down Programming approach in program design. The main task is divided into sub task and functions.
b.) All function share the data through global variable.
b) Data is less secure as it is available to all functions.
c) Procedural Language gives more importance to instruction and less importance to data.
