Abstract
As we grow in the art of computer programming, we construct programs in a sequence of refinement steps. At each step we break our task into a number of subtasks, thereby defining a number of partial programs. To camouflage this structure is undesirable. The concepts of the procedure and function allow you to display the subtasks as explicit subprograms.
