    The document discusses modular or structured programming techniques. Modular programming breaks programs into individual modules that are related and can be amended independently. For example, a main program may call separate modules to accept user input, perform calculations, and display outputs. This makes programs more organized and maintainable as requirements change over time. An example flowchart is given that shows a main program calling three modules to accept three numbers as input, add them together, and display the sum.

    Identifying Modular Approach to Programming

    Identifying Modular Approach to Programming (Contd.)

    A program needs to be amended periodically to respond to changing conditions or requirements. This encouraged programmers to adopt a more disciplined approach to program writing. The techniques that were adopted are known as modular or structured programming techniques. Modular programming includes features that are designed not only to solve the problem at hand but also to make the logic clear to someone reading the program.

    Long, continuous programs can be broken up into a series of individual modules that are related to each other in a specified manner.
    Main Program

    Module1

    Module2

    Module3

    Example:
    Flowchart to show modular programming
    Start numeric nNum1, nNum2, nNum3, nSum Add

    Example:
    Accept the test scores for 10 students and display their individual averages. The scores of the students cannot be negative. The table shows the variables used in the flowchart.
    Variable Student Name
    Return Add

    Accept nNum1, nNum2, nNum3

    nSum=nNum1 + nNum2 + nNum3

    Data Type character numeric numeric numeric numeric

    Variable Name cStudentName nTest1 nTest2 nTest3 nAverage

    Score of Test 1 Score of Test 2

    Display nSum

    Score of Test 3
    Stop

    Average of Test Scores
