ACTIVITY #6: INTEGRATING PROGRAMS
PBASIC application programs typically contain the following sections:
There are several reasons for all these sections. First, it helps prevent larger programs
from getting out of hand by keeping them well organized. Second, it makes the program
more readable. Third, it helps keep the elements in each program modular.
Modular program components are really important. Why? Because it makes it possible
to re-use components from a previous project in new projects. For example, let's say you
move on from SumoBots to a complex maze solving contest. If you developed lots of
valuable techniques with your SumoBot, you may want to copy selected subroutines into
the maze solving robot's program. If your code follows conventions to keep it modular,
you'll be able to do this with minimal hassle.

adjustments or other tests.
