Explain the concept of Context in programming.

In programming, Context is an object or structure that contains information about the current execution state, environment, or settings necessary for the operation of application components.

For example, in Android, Context provides access to application resources, system services, the file system, and allows launching activities or services. It acts as a link between application components and the system.

Example: to access a string resource in Android, you need to use Context:

String appName = context.getString(R.string.app_name);

Thus, Context helps components interact with the environment and each other without passing many parameters directly.
