structured programming technique where a program is divided into modules with specific functions

Encyclopedic overview

Modular programming is a programming paradigm that emphasizes organizing the functions of a codebase into independent modules, each providing an aspect of a computer program in its entirety without providing other aspects.

A module interface expresses the elements that are provided and required by the module. The elements defined in the interface are detectable by other modules. The implementation contains the working code that corresponds to the elements declared in the interface.
