there are primarily three methods of programming in use today: procedural, recursive, and object oriented true or false

False.

Explanation:

In Computer programming, there are primarily two (2) methods of programming in use today:

1. Procedural programming: it is an early form of programming (coding) in which software developers make use of a top to down approach in instructing the computer on what actions to take through logical or step-by-step processes. This top-down approach is known as an inline programming, it basically involves calling a procedure such as functions, routines or sub-routines. Some examples of a procedural programming language are Java, Pascal, C, BASIC and FORTRAN.

2. Object-oriented programming (OOP): it is a high level programming language which is based on creating objects that comprises of data (fields) and code (procedures). This procedure includes a method while the data that makes up the object is generally referred to as fields and includes arrays, variables, class etc. Some examples of object-oriented programming language are Python, Ruby, Raku, Java, C++ etc.

Generally, in computer programming a procedural programming is primarily based on creating procedures while an object-oriented programming is based on the creation of objects.
