Compare graphical user interfaces (GUIs) with command line interfaces.

What will be an ideal response?

A user interface is the manner in which an operating system interacts with its users. Most operating systems today use a graphical user interface (GUI). The older DOS operating system and some versions of the UNIX and Linux operating systems use a command line interface, although graphical versions of UNIX and Linux are available. Command line interfaces require users to input commands using the keyboard; graphical user interfaces allow the user to issue commands by selecting icons, buttons, menu items, and other graphical objects-typically with a mouse, pen, or finger.
