How to create getters and setters

[VCepheus]

EdwardLew .Lew is asking the same question I was about to type out. Are you nullifying the original assignment of printName by setting your own privateName? Is there any way to obtain the value "Beaver" without having to directly type it yourself?

edwardLew. With setters you can modify the variables and with getters you can catch them. Basically he jus modified the parameter.

i believe it is because you set it to be "anthony" with the: public static void setPrivateName (String s) wich allows you to change the value of the private string to whatever you want it to be. and you change that with the t.setPrivateName ("whatever you want"). please someone correct me if im wrong. i just dont understand too well how the public static void setPrivateName (String s) { privateName=s } works. can someone explain that to me please?!

[GodIsAGirl]

why it came out "anthony" instead of "beaver"? that kind confusing me if we try to access private string but it's didn't run it out .

[sadaquekhan]

Why didn't the word "Beaver" print out ?

[DanielBoakye]

can you please make the text a little bit much larger..

[Nanoytgaming]

You dont even need the "set", the code runs just fine without it, this code has so many mistakes, its only confusing me more : /

Why is it bad coding practice to make stuff public?

[kakolasada]

He made a mistake just to make it clear. He already declared privateName as "Beaver", but then he passed the string "anthony", changing the string value of s.
