    A procedure is a series of steps as a 'mini-program'. These steps can be called up multiple times, but essentially they are used to break down lengthly code into smaller sections for ease of debugging, modification, etc.

    A function is a series of steps which calculate something, or are used in the express identification of something; i.e. squaring a number can be considered a function. Functions can be used multiple times for various variables.
