A menu-driven system has menus displayed on the display screen of your terminal. To "drive" the system, you select a choice from a menu and this leads you to the function you want to perform. 2, record 1, English, - menu%2Ddriven%20system

Menu-driven systems are advantageous in two ways: firstly, because input is via single key strokes, the system is less prone to user error; secondly, because only a limited range of characters are "allowed", the way in which the input is to be entered is unambiguous. This contributes toward making the system more user-friendly. 3, record 1, English, - menu%2Ddriven%20system
