Graphic User Interface

What Is CUI(Command User Interface) and GUI(Graphic User Interface)? What is difference between them?

Plz Explain with an example.

If you are familiar with the old DOS environment, that was a command user interface. Essentially commands are entered directly into a blank screen and enter to initiate the command.
In GUI many commands are user friendly interface that is easily understood and does not need command styling in order to execute.

IE: In DOS to run scandisk on a black screen was the prompt
C:
At the c prompt, (assuming the scan disk command was in the root directory) the command scandsk was typed in and then entered with the enter key.

In Windows GUI interface 95 and up…you simply found Scandisk in the programs/ system menu/tools and would click on it and it ran.
