 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
