a one-line command.

2. Café Management System

Command Line Interface

 Graphical User Interface

3. Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages of GUI Disadvantages of GUI

1. Flexible 1. Requires more memory

2. uses graphics to allow users to 3. Slower than CLI
intercommunicate with the
operating system or application
4. Much easier than CLI 2. GUI are dependent on the
computer’s memory and
processor.

Advantages of CLI Disadvantages of CLI

1. Does not require more memory 1. CLI appearance could not be

changed
2. Concise and reliable actions 3. CLI needs expertise over
commands and syntax
4. Programmers gain greater control
over system functions
5. CLI is faster than GUI

4.identify the similarities and dissimilarities of each design interface.

Similarities:
 They are both user interface
Dissimilarities:
Graphical User Interface:
 Requires more memory space because it contains more graphical components.
  Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows the user to interact with the system using
graphical elements such as windows, icons and menus.
 GUI uses graphics to allow users to intercommunicate with the operating
system or application.
 GUI users provided the visual aids (graphics) that include images and icons,
which facilitates users to perform a task directly.
 Graphical User interface permits a user to interact with the system by using
graphics which includes images, icons, etc.
 GUI appearance is adjustable.

Command Line Interface:

 Does not require more memory.
 Command Line Interface (CLI) allows the user to interact with the system using
commands.
 Using CLI system, one has to write a command.
 CLI and GUI are the different kinds of user interfaces.
 Command line interface enables a user to communicate with the system
through commands.
 Command-Line Interface allows users to write commands in a terminal or
console window to communicate with an operating system.
 CLI appearance could not be changed.

5. Identify 10 reasons why programmers use a command line interface.

1. Concise and reliable actions
2. Much faster
3. Automate with shell scripts
4. Programmers gain greater control over system functions
5. Programmers often use CLI because it is more secure than GUI
6. CLI is Required for Backend Programming
7. CLI is Diverse as Compared to GUI
8. CLI uses fewer resources than the GUI
9. Command line interface offers more control, precision and repeatability.
10. Usability

6. Formulate a conclusion
 Both CLI and GUI have their advantages and disadvantages, and they are
appropriate according to the user requirement and use. The graphic user
interface provides a higher degree of multitasking and more efficiency, but
Command line interface offers more control, precision and repeatability.
