What is the role of the UIControl component within the user interface?

UIControl is a base class in iOS that represents interactive elements of the user interface, such as buttons, switches, sliders, etc.

The role of UIControl includes:

• Handling user events (taps, touches, value changes).
• Managing control states (e.g., highlighted, disabled).
• Allowing the addition of target-action pairs, which are called upon specific events.

Thus, UIControl serves as the foundation for creating interactive elements, providing a mechanism for user interaction.

Example of usage:

let button = UIButton(type: .system)
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonTapped), for: .touchUpInside)

@objc func buttonTapped() {
    print("Button tapped")
}
