Delegate Vs Event

  ✅  What are Delegates in C#? A  delegate  is a type-safe  function pointer . It holds references to one or more methods with a specific signature and return type. ✅  Why Use Delegates? Reason Description Flexibility Pass methods as parameters (i.e., callbacks). Extensibility Dynamically assign behavior at runtime. Decoupling Loosely couples components. Foundation for Events Events use delegates under the hood. 🟢 Delegate Example –  Less Safe  (Public Access) using System; namespace DemoDelegate {     // 1. Define the delegate type     public delegate void NotifyDelegate(string name);     public class MyDelegateClass     {         // 2. Public delegate field (unsafe)         public NotifyDelegate Notify;         public void Greet(string name)         {             Console.WriteLine("Hello, " + name...

Why Delegates in C#?

Why Delegates in C#?  Delegates in C# are like  "method containers" —they let you  treat methods as variables , pass them around, and execute them dynamically. Think of them as  "super-powered method pointers"  that make your code flexible and reusable. 1. Real-Life Analogy: The "Remote Control" Imagine you have a  remote control  (the delegate) that can  call any method  (like turning on a TV, AC, or lights). Without delegates : You’d need separate remotes for each device. With delegates : One remote can control  any device  you assign to it. Delegate = A universal remote for methods! 2. Why Use Delegates? (Key Benefits) ✅  1. Flexibility: Change Behavior at Runtime You can  swap methods  dynamically. Example: delegate void GreetDelegate ( string name ) ; void SayHello ( string name ) => Console . WriteLine ( $"Hello, { name } !" ) ; void SayBye ( string name ) => Console . WriteLine ( $"Bye, { ...
