Disadvantages of Procedural languages

1. Procedural languages are difficult to relate with the real world objects.
2. Procedural codes are very difficult to maintain, if the code grows larger.
3. Procedural languages does not have automatic memory management as like in Java. Hence, it makes the programmer to concern more about the memory management of the program.
4. The data, which is used in procedural languages are exposed to the whole program. So, there is no security for the data.

Examples of Procedural languages :

• BASIC
• C
• Pascal
• FORTRAN
