GUI
- An application program must be easy to use. This is why a program
has a graphical user interface or GUI ( pronounced as “gooey”.)
- A GYU often has a “window.” This is the working space of an
application program.
A GUI window is like a blackboard in a classroom. By looking
carefully at the blackboard, you can see where the chalk and the eraser are
placed. It’s the same for a GUI. By simply looking at it, you see what tools to
use and where to find them.
