limits of procedural, object

orientated and event driven
programming.

 The applications of procedural
programming.
Procedural programming languages breaks
up the programming task into a number of
procedures (also sub-routines or
functions). Each procedure carries out a
specific task and is called from the main
program.
The procedural approach is relatively easy
to understand and is therefore often used
when first learning programming. It is also
suitable for systems that are fairly
straightforward and don’t involve many
different interacting sub-systems.
An example of a procedural programming language is C, Pascal and PHP.
Procedural programming is
specific to calculating
scientific and engineering
uses. It is used for
calculations. It consists of
a fluid movement
throughout the program as
it runs.
This is great for
straightforward systems
which don’t involve many
different interacting sub-
systems.
 The limitations of procedural
programming
There are limitations to what you can do with procedural
programming. When you are using procedural programming you do
not have much flexibility with it. It has to be one straight
programming with calculations done precisely.

Another limitation is that

 Object-orientated programming.
Object-orientated An example of object-

Applications of event-driven

 Disadvantages of event-driven
programming.
A disadvantage of using event
driven can also be seen as an
advantage. Using event-
driven for GUI programs. The
reason this could be a
disadvantage is because it is
only useful for GUI
programming. If a company

event driven but they are not
using GUI programs, This
would not allow the
employees to work as the
programming type they are
using is not compatible with
the programs they are making
Event-driven programming is
a hard to understand and
master how it works. Unlike
procedural programming
where calculations are used
to make it work, event driven
is less obvious in how it
works.
Event driven is not
useful for
commercial
programs as they
require data
processing which
event driven
programming isn't
used for.
