-Transaction analysis : it is managing the series of events that occur

3) Advantages of event driven programming.(5marks)
-Customizability : custom events developers can define custom events
tailored to specific application needs.
-Responsiveness : improved user experience EDP allows applications to
respond immediately to user inputs.
-Ease of development : simplified logic.
-Scalability : scalable design applications can scale to handle a huge
amount of events efficiently.
-Real time systems : used in real time applications EDP for example
4) Discuss three types of controls used in event driven programming.
(6marks)
-Button controls : push button clickable button that initiates an action
when pressed.
-Text controls : input field this is where user enters text.
-Slider control : allows user to select a value from a continous range by
sliding.
-Date and time control : date picker allows user to pick the date from a
calendar interface time control allows user to pick the time.
5) Outline four methods used in a form in a VB program.
-Form intialization and loading.
