event-oriented programming

Event-oriented programming is a method where programs respond to specific actions or occurrences, called "events," rather than following a predetermined sequence. For example, clicking a button or receiving data triggers an event, prompting the program to execute related code. This approach allows applications to be more interactive and responsive, as they continuously wait for and react to user actions or other signals. It's commonly used in user interfaces, web applications, and real-time systems to create dynamic, responsive experiences.
