Also, do y’all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

    not object oriented

    I don’t think we have a name for what you are trying to say here.

    (And yeah, “object oriented” isn’t it.)

      procedural programming is more akin to that, but python has far to many oop concepts to be considered procedural imo

        Procedural and OOP aren’t mutually exclusive terms. Most OOP programs are ultimately procedural in nature. Often, the only difference is that the first argument to the function is to the left the function name and separated by a dot.

          fair, I just think it’s misleading to call python procedural, but it lines up with what the commenter above was describing and searching for the term for

            I’d say the term “procedural” itself is an issue. Pretty much any language can be done that way if you choose. IIRC, the creator of Clojure wanted Java to work more that way, and he did it by having a single class full of functions. It’s not a natural way to write Java, and that’s why he invented Clojure.
