Modular/Procedural Programming

[IncognitoX]

Hey guys,

I'm confusing myself now... I'm preparing resources for a Unit in procedural programming, so any programmers out there UNITE.

Modular programming is the splitting up of functions into separate modules yes? Right, so I'm doing C++ programming so is modular programming in this syntax set out as Classes?

I know that classes are mainly used in OOP (object orientated programming) but how about procedural programming?

YEAH... I'm confused.

Could anyone shed some light on this?

The way I see it is:

Procedural Programming is a top down style. The code is split into procedures that are called.

Modular Programming is the fore runner to OOP. The main project is split into smaller modules/programs which combined make the whole software.

Object Orientated Programming is complete object extraction and and self contained objects, such as Classes etc which are used by the program.
