What design pattern is used in Laravel to separate its various aspects of functionality?

Laravel uses the MVC (Model-View-Controller) design pattern. This pattern divides the application into three main components:

• Model — responsible for data handling and business logic.
• View — responsible for displaying data to the user.
• Controller — processes user requests, interacts with the Model, and selects the View for display.

This separation simplifies maintenance and development of the application, making the code more organized and understandable.
