Getters and setters for the Dog class

  • 4
  • Locked
Let's create a Dog class. A dog should have a name and age, and getters and setters for these variables. A getter is a method that returns a variable's current value to the caller. A setter is a dog breed. However, though we are talking about dogs at the moment, this term actually isn't about dogs: in the context of programming, a setter is a method that sets a variable to a new value.

Is it mandatory that the getters and setters have the second part of the method name begin with a capital letter? I typed getname and setname first, which errored out. Later tried getName and setName and it worked. It would be helpful to call it out during the description in the previous lesson.
