Delegates in c sharp | Types of Delegates

An overview of delegates in C# and the different types of delegates available, such as single-cast and multicast delegates.

What is a Delegate?

A delegate is a type that represents a reference to a method with a specific signature, allowing methods to be passed around and invoked like variables.

Single-cast Delegates

A single-cast delegate points to exactly one method at a time, and invoking it simply calls that one referenced method.

Multicast Delegates

A multicast delegate can reference multiple methods at once, and invoking it calls each of those methods in the order they were added.

Generic Delegates

C# also provides built-in generic delegate types, which cover most common scenarios without requiring you to declare a custom delegate type.
