1. The program encounters the procedure call. 2. The program jumps to the procedure's code. 3. The procedure executes its code with the provided arguments. 4. If a RETURN statement is encountered, the program gets the returned value. 5. The program continues from where it left off.

1. Define the procedure with a name, parameters, and code statements. 2. Use the RETURN statement to send back a value (if needed). 3. Call the procedure by its name, providing arguments for the parameters. 4. Use or store the returned value (if any).

Parameters: Variables in the procedure definition (placeholders). Arguments: Actual values passed to the procedure when it is called.

Printing: Displays the value to the console. Returning: Sends the value back to the calling code for further use.

Procedures are used in virtually every software application to organize code, perform specific tasks, and avoid code duplication. Examples include functions for calculating taxes, processing user input, and rendering graphics.
