In procedural languages you define a procedure with its parameters.  This is
what Jean-Marc means by 'implementation'.  Then somewhere else in the program
you give the procedure 'call'.

But Jean-Marc, you can call a procedure from within its implementation, giving
you some recursion, right?  Can Overflow do that?
