**Also known as:** Proxy Pattern

**Intent:** It is a technique where an object expresses certain behavior to the outside but in
reality delegates responsibility for implementing that behaviour to an associated object.

![alt text](./etc/delegation.png "Delegate")

**Applicability:** Use the Delegate pattern in order to achieve the following

* Reduce the coupling of methods to their class
* Components that behave identically, but realize that this situation can change in the future.

**Credits**

/**
* The delegate pattern provides a mechanism to abstract away the implementation and control of the desired action.
* The class being called in this case {@link PrinterController} is not responsible for the actual desired action,
* but is actually delegated to a helper class either {@link CanonPrinter}, {@link EpsonPrinter} or {@link HpPrinter}.
* The consumer does not have or require knowledge of the actual class carrying out the action, only the
* container on which they are calling.
*
* In this example the delegates are {@link EpsonPrinter}, {@link HpPrinter} and {@link CanonPrinter} they all implement
* {@link Printer}. The {@link PrinterController} class also implements {@link Printer}. However neither provide the
* functionality of {@link Printer} by printing to the screen, they actually call upon the instance of {@link Printer}
* that they were instantiated with. Therefore delegating the behaviour to another class.
