What is the purpose of dividing an application into layers in MVC architecture?

The goal of dividing an application into layers in the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture is to separate responsibilities among components to improve support, scalability, and testability of the application.

• Model is responsible for data handling and business logic.
• View is responsible for displaying data to the user.
• Controller handles user input and interacts with the model and view.

This separation allows changing the interface without affecting the logic, and vice versa, and also simplifies teamwork and code maintenance.
