     • Very simple and easy to use
     • Multiple programs can be displayed simultaneously.
     • Looks a lot nicer
     • The data can be transferred
   • Disadvantages
     • Can be very slow for experienced codes to use
     • It requires a lot more memory then a CLI
     • Takes more time to load so puts more work on the CPU

2. CLI

   • Advantages
     • If the user knows the correct commands then this type of interface can be much faster than any other type of interface.
     • This interface requires much less memory in order to use compared to other types of user interfaces.
     • Doesn't require as much time to load so puts less work on the CPU
   • Disadvantages
     • Not anyone can use it, you need to know how to code.
     • Not simplistic at all, can be quite complex.
     • Cant have any spelling errors or the whole command wont work
