Type of User Interface

This document discusses different types of user interfaces for interacting with computer programs. It describes command-based interfaces which use successive lines of text commands, menu-driven interfaces which provide graphical menus for easier navigation than memorizing commands, and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) which allow users to interact through icons and visual indicators instead of text commands to have a more intuitive interface.

Command-Based User

Interface
A command-line user interface , console user
interface, and character user interface (CUI), is a
means of interacting with a computer program where
the user (or client) issues commands to the program
in the form of successive lines of text (command
lines).
Menu Driven
Menu-driven interfaces provide graphical menus . A
menu-driven interface does not require a user to
memorize commands, which makes navigation easier
for the user. As such, users require little training when
using menu-driven interfaces. Menu-driven interfaces
also require little computer processing power, so they
can be quickly loaded on most devices.
Graphical User interfaces
(GUI)
The graphical user interface (GUI /ui/), is a type of
user interface that allows users to interact with
electronic devices through graphical icons and visual
indicators such as secondary notation, instead of text-
based user interfaces, typed command labels or text
navigation. GUIs were introduced in reaction to the
perceived steep learning curve of command-line
interfaces (CLIs),[1][2][3] which require commands to
be typed on a computer keyboard.

The actions in a GUI are usually performed through


direct manipulation of the graphical elements.[4]
Beyond computers, GUIs are used in many handheld
mobile devices such as MP3 players, portable media
players, gaming devices, smartphones and smaller
