(GUI) Graphical User Interface

A graphical user interface (GUI) is a type of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices, such as computers, mobile phones, and gaming consoles, using visual elements such as windows, icons, and buttons. It is designed to make it easier for users to interact with these devices, as opposed to using a command-line interface, which requires users to type commands. The use of a GUI can make it simpler for users to perform tasks, such as launching applications, opening files, and adjusting settings. A well-designed GUI can also make it easier for users to understand how to use an electronic device, as the visual elements and layout provide context and cues for the user.
