So interactive/non-interactive 101 ...

M-x - that's interactive

Keystroke - interactive!

"interactive" means (interactive "nX: \n") is used to assign
the argument values to the formal parameters.

Compare "from Lisp" or non-interactive use which looks like
this:

(from-lisp x) - non-interactive, i.e. (interactive "...")
isn't used, but you see that x is provided so no worries.

A function that is interactive is also called a command!

That's all I know ... what more do you want?

  You gotta give me more and more
