Understanding the Model View Controller architecture

Apple built iOS apps to use what is known as the Model View Controller (MVC), which is an architectural pattern that describes a way to structure the code in your app. In layman's terms, this just means breaking up our app into three distinct camps, Model, View, and Controller.

Here is a diagram of MVC to help you understand it:

Let's discuss each camp:

Model: The Model camp is responsible for an app's data and business logic. The Model's only job is to handle representations of data, data storage, and the operations performed on data.

View: The View camp is responsible for all the things that you see on the screen. The View handles presenting and formatting data that results from the user's interactions.
