  1. They maximize code reuse and minimize redundancy.
  2. They carry out procedural decomposition by splitting systems into pieces that have well-defined roles.

Functions are a common feature in many programming languages and may also be referred to as subroutines or procedures.

Functions reduce code duplication and improve maintainability. If an ...
