Discussion

The MVC (Model View Controller) pattern divides a program into three major parts:

• Model
• View
• Controller

Model

A part of MVC that handles the user input and notifies both the model and the view, if there are any changes in one of them. If there are changes in the model, the view will collect them directly from the model, when it gets notified. If there are changes in the view, the controller will delegate this to the model <cite>Burbeck1992MVC</cite>.

View

A part of MVC that contains the user interface.

Controller

A part of MVC that contains the data.
