Event-Driven Programming

Event-Driven Programming is a programming paradigm where the flow of the program is controlled by events such as user inputs, sensor signals, or messages from other programs. In this paradigm, the program is designed to respond to different events by executing specific pieces of code known as event handlers. This approach is widely used in graphical user interfaces (GUIs), real-time systems, and applications requiring asynchronous processing, where responsiveness and user interaction are critical.

What is the role of event handlers in Event-Driven Programming?
Event handlers are specific pieces of code that execute in response to events, controlling the program's flow in an Event-Driven Programming paradigm.
Where is Event-Driven Programming commonly used?
Event-Driven Programming is commonly used in graphical user interfaces (GUIs), real-time systems, and applications requiring asynchronous processing for responsiveness and user interaction.
How does Event-Driven Programming enhance responsiveness?
Event-Driven Programming enhances responsiveness by allowing the program to respond immediately to user inputs or external signals through event handlers.
