Fundamentals of Programming: Syntax, Logic Structures, and VariableManagementDiscuss the importance of structured programming in the development of computer software. Inyour response, explain the differences between key programming structures (such as loops,conditional statements, and arrays), and provide examples of how these structures are utilized toimprove the functionality and efficiency of a program. Additionally, describe the concept ofmodular programming, and how it facilitates teamwork and code maintenance. Be sure toinclude explanations of any relevant terms such as "variable names," "flowcharts," and "booleanexpressions."Word Count Requirement:400–500 words.
