Is there a term for the most important method in a Class?


I'm looking through some old code and realize there are a ton of "helper" methods in this class as well as a ton of fields that are set via dependency injection and configuration. All of these things are essentially used by one very important method in the class. Is there a proper term for this in software development? Can I refer to it as something like a cornerstone method or pivotal method ? Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • A 'core method' seems succinct enough, IMO.
