I started learning ASP.NET MVC recently, and as far as I understood:

  • Model represents a structure of the app data;
  • View represents user interface;
  • Controller handles actions between the model and the view.

But the first statement in the Wikipedia article for MVC states that:

Model–view–controller (MVC) is a software architectural pattern for implementing user interfaces on computers.

This looks ambiguous to me. Isn't the the user interface implemented with the "V part" of MVC, or I'm missing something!?

As a whole the goal of an MVC application is to provide the user with an interface. All the different components are simply there to organize the code in a consistent manner accross the application.

As stated in wikepedia, each component serves a purpose with a goal of giving the user an output (view) for data (model) with commands (controller).

So the View is not a user interface, it is an output for the model. the user interface is the whole.
