Study Notes
Traditional Approach to Programming Problems
- The traditional approach often follows a linear, step-by-step methodology, emphasizing sequential execution in coding.
- It typically relies on procedural programming, where functions are created to solve specific tasks, promoting modularity.
Challenges with Project Growth
- As projects increase in size, the complexity and interdependencies of code components also escalate.
- Larger projects may suffer from difficulties in code management, debugging, and modification due to intricate connections between various modules.
Problems Highlighted with Traditional Approach
- The traditional method can lead to increased development time due to its rigid structure, making it hard to adapt to changing requirements.
- It can cause a lack of flexibility, limiting developers' ability to implement changes swiftly as new challenges arise.
Issues with Procedural Core Expansion
- The procedural core becomes challenging to navigate and maintain as the codebase grows larger and more complex.
- Code reuse, a potential benefit of procedural programming, diminishes as developers create specific functions that often do not fit into a broader context.
Difficulties in Maintaining Procedural Core
- Maintaining a procedural core is challenging due to increased chances of introducing bugs and the difficulty of tracking functional dependencies.
- Changes in one part of the system can have cascading effects on others, complicating maintenance and updates.
