/**
* 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.
