What is the architectural pattern MVC?

MVC (Model-View-Controller) is an architectural pattern that divides an application into three interconnected components:

• Model: Represents the data and business logic of the application. Independent of the user interface.
• View: Responsible for displaying data from the Model to the user and interacting with them. Does not contain business logic.
• Controller: Receives input from the user (usually through the View), processes it, updates the Model, and if necessary, instructs the View to update its presentation. Acts as an intermediary between the Model and the View.

Advantages of MVC:

• Separation of concerns.
• Improved maintainability and scalability.
• Simplified testing (components can be tested in isolation).
• Ability for different teams to develop in parallel (e.g., UI developers work on the View, backend developers on the Model).
• Potential to use different Views for the same Model (e.g., for web and mobile applications).
