Graphic User Interface. One of the main uses is so that you can use a mouse to interact with your computer. The system lays out your screen as a grid and "knows" where the cursor is and where your icons are with respect to that grid. When you "click" your mouse button, the computer checks the cursor's location and compares it to the graphic objects(such as icons) and does whatever action it is programed to do. For example if you hover the cursor over the icon for internet Explorer and double-click(in Windows), the computer starts your IE browser.

Is GUI better in Java or C plus plus?

Neither Java nor C++ have a GUI as such -- the GUI is not part of the language specification. But comparing the GUIs for an IDE intended for Java with that of an IDE intended for C++ is hardly going to tell you which is better, since they are intended for completely different purposes. You might as well compare the GUI provided with Adobe PaintShop Pro against the GUI for Microsoft Word for all the good it does.


Why do menu-driven interfaces continue to be popular in the modern computing age?
