delegate

下面这个链接解决了我一直对delegating和delegated的疑问，不知道谁是谁。

Delegation and the Cocoa Frameworks
The delegating object is typically a framework object, and the delegate is typically a custom controller object. In a managed memory environment, the delegating object maintains a weak reference to its delegate; in a garbage-collected environment, the receiver maintains a strong reference to its delegate. Examples of delegation abound in the Foundation, UIKit, AppKit, and other Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks.
