Unit 3 Lesson 5
Two different ways for programs to run-
Sequential Programming: program statements run in order, from top to
bottom.
~ No user interaction
~ Code runs the same way every time
Event Driven Programming: some program statements run when
triggered by an event, like a mouse click or a key press.
~ Programs run differently each time depending on user interactions
