Procedure Relationships

The terms that describe the relationship of a given procedure to other

procedures in the same program are:

parent A procedure that directly calls the given procedure.

ancestor A procedure that calls the given procedure, either

directly or through another procedure or procedures;

all parents are also ancestors.

child A procedure called directly by the given procedure.

descendant A procedure that is called by the given procedure,

either directly or through other procedures; all children

are also descendants.

sibling A procedure with the same parent as the given

procedure.

Figure 2-1 illustrates these relationships in the program vanderbilt
