EVENT DRIVEN PROGRAMMING
SUMMARY

Event-driven programming focuses on responding to events (e.g., user actions, sensor inputs) by triggering event handlers or callbacks.

Key Principles​

Event Loop​

A central mechanism that listens for events and dispatches them to the appropriate handlers

Asynchronous Execution​

Programs do not block while waiting for events, enabling responsiveness.

Use Cases:​

  • Graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
  • Real-time systems (e.g., IoT devices, gaming).
  • Examples: 
    • JavaScript (in browsers)
    • Node.js
    • GUI frameworks like Qt
