Event-Driven Programming Concepts
- Event-driven programming is a paradigm where program flow is determined by events like user actions (mouse clicks, key presses), sensor outputs, or messages from other programs.
- It runs asynchronously, not sequentially
- It's commonly used in graphical user interfaces (GUIs), real-time systems, and networking applications.
Key Components of Event-Driven Programming
- Event handlers: Functions or methods that respond to specific events. They define actions when an event occurs
- Delegates: Type-safe function pointers, defining method signatures for event handlers. They allow passing methods as arguments to other methods.
- Events: Actions or occurrences that trigger responses in the form of event handlers. They notify the application when significant happenings occur, like user input. They are built on delegates.
Event Handlers
- Functions or methods that get called in response to a specific event.
- Define actions that should occur when the event is triggered.
- Often used in GUIs to respond to user actions (e.g., clicking a button).
- Run asynchronously, separate from the normal program flow.
- Specific to an event, or a group of related events.
- Improve modularity by separating the event from its response.
Delegates
- Type-safe function pointers that define the method signature.
- Used to pass functions as arguments.
- Crucial in event-driven programming to ensure event handlers respond correctly to events.
- Allow loose coupling between the event source and the event response.
Events
- Actions or occurrences that trigger responses.
- Central to event-driven systems, notifying the application of significant events.
- Implemented using delegates.
- Follow a subscription model. Event handlers subscribe to events. When an event occurs, all subscribers are notified.
Handling User Input
- Handling user input is a core function of event-driven programming, especially in GUI applications, web applications, and real-time systems.
- Users interact with the interface. Applications respond via event handlers.
Capturing User Input
- User input encompasses actions like key presses, mouse clicks, touch gestures, and entered data.
- Event-driven systems use event listeners or sensors to monitor input.
- In desktop GUI apps, user inputs are captured as events handled by event listeners or handlers..
- Types of user input include:
- Mouse events (e.g., clicking)
- Keyboard events (e.g., key press)
- Touch events (e.g., swiping, tapping)
Responding to Events
- Once user input is captured, the system responds by executing the appropriate event handler.
- Responses include: updating the user interface (UI), sending data to a server, and triggering further actions.
Benefits of Event-Driven Programming
- Improved interactivity: Immediate responses to user actions.
- Decoupling (separation): Separates logic into cleaner, more manageable modules
- Scalability: Easy to add more functionalities or handlers without affecting core logic.
Conclusion
- Event-driven programming is a fundamental paradigm for interactive systems.
- Allows dynamic responses to user input, system changes, and external stimuli.
- From button clicks to network messages, applications react in real time via event handlers.
- Provides flexible, modular, and responsive user experiences
Prime Numbers
- A prime number is a number with exactly two divisors: 1 and itself.
- Examples: 2, 3
- Non-examples: 4
Proof of Infinite Primes
- There's no largest prime number.
- A proof involves a reductio ad absurdum: assuming a largest prime, 'p' and constructing a larger prime.
Problems
- How many primes are there?
- Is every even number the sum of two primes?
Additional Example Code (C#)
-Provided code snippets demonstrating event handlers, delegates, and events in a C# context illustrating how to handle button clicks and respond to events. Further clarifying the application of these concepts to the practical code.
