The Benefits of Event-Driven Programming

Event-driven programming is a different approach that allows the system to constantly wait for events and then react to them. It is a more natural way for embedded systems, which are naturally event-driven. The system handles events quickly and does not block or wait for events in line. This paradigm is commonly used in graphical user interfaces and provides a structure where the infrastructure calls user code to handle events.
