If you were a programmer, would you prefer to work with procedural or non-procedural languages? Explain your reasons.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Students with some programming experience may have personal reasons to support their answers; others will answer based on impressions they gain in the textbook and in this part of the Toolkit. The textbook points out that traditional, procedural languages use structural rules to organize and control program execution, while non-procedural languages are essentially event-driven. Both types, however, require specific rules for syntax and coding.
