Modular programming

Modular programming is a way of organizing a computer program into smaller parts called modules. Each module contains the necessary code to run one specific part of the final computer program. Modular programs are simpler to understand.[1] They are also more simple to maintain. Different programmers can each make different modules.[1] Usually, each module is designed to do only one thing.[2]
