Model-view-controller

Imagine you have a toy car that you want to play with.

The car (model) is made up of different parts like wheels, body, engine, and steering wheel. These parts work together to make the toy car move and turn.

Now, let's say you want to play with the car in different ways. You might want to race it on a track, or use it to navigate obstacles on a play mat.

To do this, you need to be able to control the car (controller). You might use a remote control or steering wheel to direct the car where you want it to go.

Finally, you also need to see the car and its movements (view). You might watch the car drive around the track or see it navigate through the obstacles on the mat.

In software development, we use a similar concept called model-view-controller (MVC).

The model represents the data and logic of the application, just like the toy car. It includes databases, algorithms, and other complex operations that work together to make the application work.

The view is what the user sees and interacts with, just like how you see and play with the toy car.

The controller is the interface between the view and the model. It receives input from the user (like the remote control or steering wheel) and sends commands to the model to update the view.

So, just like playing with a toy car, the model, view, and controller work together to create a functional application that you can use in different ways.
