Key benefits/advantages:
– Usefulness of reusable code
– Eases program organization, both for the individual programmer,
team members
– Makes future maintenance easier
– you only have fix/update a
module, not the whole program
-Manageable tasks
• Breaking down a programming project into modules makes it
more manageable.
• These individual modules are easier to design, implement
and test.
• Then you can use these modules to construct the overall
program.
Distributed development
• Modular programming allows distributed development.
• By breaking down the problem into multiple tasks, different
developers can work in parallel.
• And this will shorten the development time.
-Code re-usability
• A program module can be reused in programs.
• This is a convenient feature because it reduces redundant
code.
• Modules can also be reused in future projects.
• It is much easier to reuse a module than recreate program
logic from scratch.
-Program readability
• Modular programming leads to more readable programs.
• Modules can be implemented as user-defined functions.
• A program that has plenty of functions is straightforward.
• But a program with no functions can be very long and hard
to follow.
