Line 1:

'''Modularity''' is the property of [[computer program|program]]s that measures the extent to which they have been composed out of [[seperate parts called '''modules]]'''.

Programs that have many direct interrelationships between any two random parts of the program code are less [['''modular (programming)|modular]]''' than programs where those relationships occur mainly at well-defined [[interface]]s between modules.

'''Modular programming''' techniques are those which increase modularity. (See also: [[structured programming]] and [[procedural programming]].)
