Abstract
The organization of program units is a central issue in the construction of programs. Subprograms provide one important form of organization. In particular, they allow the description of a (sometimes complex) computation that can be characterized by a simple interface to the user. As such, they provide a basic unit in program decomposition and allow for the orderly development of both small and large programs.
