Explain delegate types and internal representation.

Expert .NET Core
Quick Answer A delegate stores a method pointer and a target instance (null for static methods). Lambdas that capture variables create a hidden compiler-generated closure class. Multicast delegates maintain an array of delegate instances รขโ‚ฌโ€ invocation iterates the array. The Invoke method calls them in order; exceptions in one delegate don't stop others unless you handle it manually.

Answer

Delegates may be open/closed static or instance methods. Multicast delegates contain invocation lists. Closures create hidden classes. Invocation chain length affects performance.
