Answer / kennedy usiagwu

CUI or CLI interface is a branch of system software that
makes use of codes or characters to interact. It is mainly
used by programmers and makes use of little or no graphics.

WHILE

GUI interface is also a branch but makes use of graphics to
interact with it like icons, pictures e.t.c. It is used by
casual computer users and does not need to use codes.

Answer / bob

graphical user interfaceTweet
Abbreviated GUI (pronounced GOO-ee). A program interface
that takes advantage of the computer's graphics
capabilities to make the program easier to use. Well-
designed graphical user interfaces can free the user from
learning complex command languages. On the other hand, many
users find that they work more effectively with a command-
driven interface, especially if they already know the
command language.

Graphical user interfaces, such as Microsoft Windows and
the one used by the Apple Macintosh, feature the following
basic components:

pointer : A symbol that appears on the display screen and
that you move to select objects and commands. Usually, the
pointer appears as a small angled arrow. Text -processing
applications, however, use an I-beam pointer that is shaped
like a capital I.
pointing device : A device, such as a mouse or trackball,
that enables you to select objects on the display screen.
icons : Small pictures that represent commands, files, or
windows. By moving the pointer to the icon and pressing a
mouse button, you can execute a command or convert the icon
into a window. You can also move the icons around the
display screen as if they were real objects on your desk.
desktop : The area on the display screen where icons are
grouped is often referred to as the desktop because the
icons are intended to represent real objects on a real
desktop.
windows: You can divide the screen into different areas. In
each window, you can run a different program or display a
different file. You can move windows around the display
screen, and change their shape and size at will.
menus : Most graphical user interfaces let you execute
commands by selecting a choice from a menu.

The operating system is classified into GUI and CUI, based on the way it interacts with the user:

GUI- It is also known as graphical user interface. This is graphic based and interactive in nature.You can use several devices like mouse, keyboard, etc to interact with the system. Windows is the most popular GUI in use nowadays.
