Interface
An interface is the place where different hardware and/or software components communicate with each other.
There are four different types of interfaces:- Hardware interface: The connection between two different hardware components.
Every component connected to the computer must have an interface. Examples of hardware interfaces: IDE, SCSI, PS/2
- Software interface: Enables the exchange of data between programs.
- User interface: Enables the user to enter data and determines the type of data display.
- Programming interface (API): Lets the programmer perform standardised operating system / hardware functions.
