Pointcut
Okay kiddo, imagine you're watching a movie and there's a superhero who always saves the day. But sometimes, the superhero only shows up when something specific happens, like when the villain is about to rob a bank.
In programming, we can also create something similar to a superhero that will only do its job when something specific happens. We call this superhero a "pointcut".
A pointcut is like a special power that helps us pick out certain parts of our code so we can only do certain things to them. Just like how the superhero only shows up when something specific happens, the pointcut only targets certain parts of our code when it meets certain conditions.
These conditions could be anything, like "only target methods that have the word 'save' in them" or "only target methods in a certain class". It's useful because we can use our pointcut to do things like logging or security checks only on specific parts of our code, instead of doing it on everything.
Hope that helps, kiddo!
