@ .setter @ . getter code example

Example 1: c# getter setter

//private Variable
int _x;
public int x {
 get { return _x; } //getter -> returns value of private variable _x
 set { _x = value; } // setter -> sets value of _x to passed argument (value)
}

//Work with x as it would be a normal public field
x = 20;
Console.WriteLine(x);

// Shorter form of getter and setter
public string y = {get; set;} // creates private variable w/ getter and setter in background
//Alternatively you can also make a setter private accessible only
public double z = {get; private set;}

Example 2: getters and setters javascript

let obj = {
  log: ['a', 'b', 'c'],
  get latest() {
    if (this.log.length === 0) {
      return undefined;
    }
    return this.log[this.log.length - 1];
  }
};

obj.log.push('d');
console.log(obj.latest); //output: 'd'
