  1. Many languages support procedural programming, including FORTRAN,
  2. Pascal, and C. Using this methodology, you solve problems by
  3. writing functions or routines that implement algorithms.
  4. Operations that depend on the characteristics of the
  5. data can be spread throughout the program. Therefore, programs
  6. written using this technique can be difficult to maintain
  7. and modify. For example, if the type of a variable is changed,

  9. access that variable.
