## Description
'**Intent**: Identify methods that extensively use another object's data and methods.

**Context**: A method calls many methods on another object, seemingly more interested in that object than its own class.

**Solution**: Move the method to the class it's most interested in using Move Method refactoring.'



## Use Cases
Use when a method heavily uses another object's data and behavior.
