Calling public function from private functions - private functions cannot directly manipulate public state, they can by staging a call to a public function that updates public state.
- You can also use this pattern to "pass" public inputs into private state by passing the input as an argument to a private function, staging a public function call that validates the input against the current public state.
The list is growing quickly, see this page of the docs for the latest, most complete list.
