Why has the advent of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) influenced the shift from procedural programming to object-oriented/event-driven programming? Although GUIs have made programs friendlier and easier to interact with, they have not simplified the task of programming. GUIs make it necessary for the programmer to create a variety of on-screen elements such as windows, dialog boxes, buttons, menus, and other items. Each of these on-screen elements can be modeled in software by an object.

If a project runs, but the results are not correct, the result will be a(n) _______.  A) logic error  Logic: A syntactical error would most likely prevent the program from running in the first place (for the program would not compile properly). A run-time error would be the program attempting to execute illegal code that would crash the program. A program producing the wrong results is a logical error in writing the code.
