OCR: COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 701 The factors that affect a missile's trajectory include the angle of the gun, weight of the missile wind I direction, wind speed, temperature, and distance to target. However after these factors are known for particular target, the calculation follows simple mathematical algorithm. Therefore, the steps for calculating trajectories remain the same, regardless of the data That concept is the key to understanding the kinds of problems that are best suited for the procedural approach. The procedural approach has been widely used for transaction processing. which ic characterized by the use of single algorithm applied to many ferent sets of data For example, in the banking industry, the algorithm for calculating checking account balances the same, regardless of the amoun ...
