Study Notes
Characteristics of Procedures
- A key characteristic of procedures is that they can be reused, making the code more efficient and easier to maintain.
Alternative Names for Procedures
- Another name for procedures is subroutines.
Procedure Calls
- A procedure call allows the program to jump to the starting point of the procedure, execute the code, and then return to the point from which it was called.
Nesting Procedures
- Nesting procedures to an arbitrary depth allows for greater modularity and organization of code, making it easier to understand and modify.
Matching Procedure Calls
- The
JMP(Jump) instruction matches all procedure calls in a program, allowing the program to jump to the starting point of the procedure.
