delegates

Delegates are objects that handle specific tasks or actions on behalf of another object or system, often in programming or organizational contexts. They act as pointers or references to methods or functions, allowing flexible and dynamic assignment of which code runs in response to events or calls. Think of a delegate as a contract or a placeholder that can be assigned different functions, enabling customizable and modular behavior without altering the core structure. In essence, delegates facilitate decoupling components and supporting event-driven or callback mechanisms.
