Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functions are often referred to as procedures because they are a sequence of instructions that perform a specific task or tasks. These tasks are carried out when the function is called or invoked within a program. While algorithms are also sequences of instructions, they are more general and can refer to any set of steps for solving a problem. Indices and schemas are not commonly used to describe functions in computer programming.
