# What are the coding techniques?

What are the [coding techniques](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/304077/why-coding-techniques-are-important)?..Please [explain](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/157854/what-is-system-debugging-explain-some-system-debugging-tools-used-in-modern-computer-systems) ..if possible for you guys..

In software engineering there are two approaches which are followed by [coding](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12290/teaching-coding-from-the-metal-up-or-from-the-glass-back) [techniques](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13015/5-practical-tips-and-techniques-to-write-an-essay)

## Structured programming techniques:-

In this programming approach codes are given some structures, it involves writing codes in blocks. It involves extensive use of selection (branching statement like if-else, case), sequence (line by line commands) and repetition (use of for loop, while, do-while) of blocks.

It breaks down larger programs into smaller so that it executes some task.

## Procedural programming technique:-

It shares same features as structured but it implements [**procedural or subroutines**](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/145574/what-are-coding-standards-in-software-engineering) to execute common functionality.
