It was literally like that. I had a script of about 310 lines and the main function was like 10-20 lines of code. I had a very nice Setup of objects that handled all functionality possible behaviours independent and so my main function was just receiving a user input from another function and add accordingly which included like 3-4 different scenarios that are being handled in the main function.
It’s a beautiful feeling when everything is nicely encapsulated.
Its also very nice, when you spend hours writing everything else and then once all of it has been tested you write a few lines of code in the main function and 10 minutes later everything works as it should.
“Hmmmm. This codebase seems surprisingly lightweight.”
Opens random ‘Helper’ class.
“Oh… Oh boy.”
I mean… that is just good design. The main function should be the initializer and orchestrator of the logic. You should be able to look at the main function and tell, at a high level, what the program is doing. It should be usually pretty basic and procedural. Other functions handle the details and complexity.
