Question
i am isha can you explain the concept of delegates. what are delegates and why do we need to create delegates in our program.

Answer
A delegate in C# is similar to a function pointer in old C or C++. Delegate allows to encapsulate a reference to a method inside a delegate object.

The delegate object can then be passed to code which can call the referenced method, without having to know at compile time which method will be invoked.
