Study Notes

Course Information

  • Course name: CS341: Visual Programming
  • Week: 02
  • Topic: Event-Driven Programming
  • Instructor: Reda M. Hussien
  • Assistant Professor of Information Systems
  • Faculty of Computers and Information
  • Kafr El-Shiekh University

Event-Driven Programming Concepts

  • Event-driven programming is a paradigm where program flow depends on events (e.g., user actions, sensor outputs, or messages).
  • Instead of sequential execution, event-driven applications respond to events asynchronously.
  • Common in GUIs, real-time systems, and networking applications.

Key Components in Event-Driven Programming

  • Event Handlers: Functions or methods called when a specific event occurs. They define actions for the event.
    • Used commonly in GUIs for user actions (like button clicks or text input).
    • Run asynchronously—not in the normal program flow.
    • Specific to an event (or group of related events) for better organization.
    • Allow loose coupling between event source and response, making code more modular.
  • Delegates: Type-safe function pointers.
    • Define a method's signature to match an event.
    • Allow methods to be treated as data, passed as arguments.
    • Critical in event-driven programming, decoupling event sources.
  • Events: Actions or occurrences that trigger responses (event handlers).
    • Central to event-driven systems.
    • Notify the application when significant changes or events occur.
    • Events use delegates to define specific method signatures to follow.
    • Often triggered by external input (e.g., user actions, hardware).
    • Events employ a subscription model—multiple event listeners can subscribe to one event to get notified when it takes place.

Handling User Input and Responding to Events

  • Handling user input is a core function in event-driven programming, especially in graphical user interfaces.
  • User interacts with the interface; responses happen via event handlers.
  • Inputs, like mouse clicks or keyboard presses, are captured as events.
  • Once the event handler captures the input, the system needs to react appropriately by updating the UI, processing input (sending data), or triggering actions (e.g., opening a file).

Benefits of Event-Driven Programming in Handling User Input

  • Improved Interactivity: Immediate user response.
  • Decoupling: Separates the logic initiating an action from the response action logic.
  • Scalability: Handles multiple handlers for the same event well. Extending an app's functionality is relatively simple without changing the core logic.

Conclusion

  • Event-driven programming handles interactive systems.
  • It leverages event handlers, delegates, and events to respond dynamically to user input, system changes, or external stimulus (e.g., network messages).
  • A simple example could be a user click—the event triggers a response immediately.

Prime Numbers

  • Prime numbers have exactly two divisors: 1 and the number itself.
  • Examples of prime numbers: 2, 3.
  • 4 is not a prime number (it has three divisors: 1, 2, and 4).
  • There is no largest prime number.
  • The question of whether every even number is the sum of two primes is an open mathematical question (Goldbach's Conjecture).
