MVC, or Model-View-Controller, is a software design pattern that separates an application into

three distinct parts:

● Model: The model represents the data and business logic of the application. It is
responsible for managing the data, applying business rules, and performing any necessary
calculations.
● View: The view is the presentation layer of the application. It is responsible for displaying
the data to the user and handling user interactions. The view typically consists of HTML,
CSS, and JavaScript code.
● Controller: The controller acts as the intermediary between the model and the view. It
receives user input from the view, processes it, and updates the model as needed. The
controller then instructs the view to update itself based on the changes in the model.

Here's an analogy to help you understand MVC:

Imagine a restaurant. The kitchen (model) prepares the food (data) according to recipes
(business rules). The waiters (controller) take orders from the customers (user input), send them
to the kitchen, and then deliver the prepared food (updated data) to the customers (updated
view).

MVC offers several benefits, including:

● Separation of concerns: Each part of the application is responsible for a specific task,
making the code easier to understand, maintain, and test.
● Reusability: The components of an MVC application can be reused in other applications,
reducing development time and cost.
● Testability: Each part of an MVC application can be tested independently, making it easier
to ensure the quality of the application.

MVC is a widely used design pattern that is implemented in many popular web frameworks,
such as Ruby on Rails, Django, and ASP.NET MVC.
