Object Oriented Programming Concepts — Question 8

The limitations of procedural programming are:

1. Procedural programming mainly focuses on procedures or functions. Less attention is given to the data.
2. The data and functions are separate from each other.
3. Global data is freely moving and is shared among various functions. Thus, it becomes difficult for programmers to identify and fix issues in a program that originate due to incorrect data handling.
4. Changes in data types need to be carried out manually all over the program and in the functions using the same data type.
5. Limited and difficult code reusability.
6. It does not model real-world entities (e.g., car, table, bank account, loan) very well where we as a human being, perceive everything as an object.
7. The procedural programming approach does not work well for large and complex systems.
