Inversion of Control

Inversion of Control (IoC) is a design principle in software development where the control of creating and managing components is delegated from a program's core logic to an external framework or container. Instead of the software explicitly constructing dependencies, these are provided to it, often through mechanisms like dependency injection. This approach promotes modularity, makes the system easier to test, and allows components to be more flexible and reusable. Essentially, IoC shifts the responsibility of managing object interactions from the code itself to an outside entity, helping developers build more maintainable and adaptable software systems.
