ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Model–view–controller

Imagine you want to make a toy car. You start by drawing a plan on a piece of paper, deciding what parts you will need, and how they will fit and work together. This plan is like the Model in a Model-View-Controller (MVC) setup.

Next, you start building your toy car, putting together all the different parts you decided on in your plan. This is like the View in the MVC setup.

Finally, once your car is built, you get to play with it and make it go. You do this by operating the different buttons, steering wheel, and pedals. This is like the Controller in the MVC setup.

So in summary:

- The Model is the plan or blueprint for how the different parts of an application will work together
- The View is the part of the application that users see and interact with
- The Controller is the part of the application that handles user input and makes the different parts work together to achieve the desired outcome.
