Functions and procedures are important ideas in programming that help keep your code organized and easy to work with. Let’s look at some real-life examples of how these work.

Everyday Examples

1. Calculating Tax: Think about a program that figures out sales tax. You can make a function called calculateTax(amount). This function takes an amount (like the price of something) and gives you back the tax amount. By using this function, you can calculate tax anytime without writing the same code over and over.

2. Weather Data: You might have a procedure to get and show weather information. For example, you could create a procedure named displayWeather(city). This procedure fetches the weather details for the city you put in. This helps keep your code neat and focused.

Why Use Them?

• Reusability: Functions and procedures let you use your code again. This saves time and helps you make fewer mistakes.
• Readability: They make it easier for you and others to understand what your code does quickly.
• Separation of Concerns: You can break down complicated programs into smaller, easier parts.

Using functions and procedures is like having tools in a toolbox. They help you create programs more easily and effectively!
