Difference between CLI program and GUI program?<\/h2>\n

Key differences and features of CLI<\/b> and GUI<\/b> programs are listed below.<\/p>\n

CLI<\/b> Program<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Command line<\/b> program or classic CLI<\/b> program ( Command line interface<\/b> ) works in simple fashion. It prompts and accepts data from the command line<\/b> and processes the input data. Optionally, the CLI<\/b> program accepts command line<\/b> parameters to the program. The output is displayed to standard output devices or written to a file. The CLI<\/b> program exits once the output is displayed. CLI<\/b> programs have minimal interaction from the user.<\/p>\n

GUI<\/b> Program<\/strong><\/h2>\n

GUI<\/b> ( Graphical User Interfaces ) programs have user interfaces<\/b>. The user interface<\/b> contains controls, buttons, windows, etc. These controls help the end user to use the application with ease. GUI<\/b> programs are interactive. GUI<\/b> program waits for events. Most programming languages\u00a0support the development of\u00a0GUI<\/strong> programs using native GUI Toolkit<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"GUI<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Graphical programs wait until\u00a0the user performs some action. Once the user performs some action, a callback or an event handler is invoked to perform some intended functionality.\u00a0GUI<\/strong> programs normally allow the user to gracefully stop the program by clicking on the\u00a0<\/span>x button on the window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
