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).
