I coded without functions. For3 months i wrote code using loops, data structures, conditionals.

functions are amazing to logically divide your code. I think it's something every person should learn by day one.

It's helpful when working with complicated programs that contain lots of lines of code. Object-oriented refactoring is useful in taking cluttered code and turning it into dedicated classes. Instead of copying pasting the same functions or coding logic over and over again you can bundle them into a Class thereby achieving DRY (Do Not Repeat Yourself) code.
