What is the difference between getter and set methods in Salesforce?

Hope that helps! Note: Mark it as solution if this helps . Get (getter) method is used to pass value from controller to VF page while set (setter) is used to set the value back to controller variable. Above two methods are same and will return same results.

Is it possible to call the setter from the Getter?

However, this means you can only directly call the getter (which usually calls the setter anyway). In your case, you actually don't even need a setter, because you are never actually setting your property value anywhere ( showNTC=... ). Some might prefer to make it an actual method when there is only a getter:

When do you need a getter and setter in JavaScript?

The following code creates a property with a basic getter and setter: The other forms come into play when you want to format or validate data in some way. For example, if you want names to have the first letter uppercase and the rest lowercase: Is there any order of firing the getter and setter method?

Do I need a setter for property values?

In your case, you actually don't even need a setter, because you are never actually setting your property value anywhere ( showNTC=... ). Some might prefer to make it an actual method when there is only a getter:

How do you avoid getters and setters?

Thus: you avoid getters and setters by thinking in terms of behavior, not in terms of state. Getters/setters manipulate state, from the "outside" (by doing avail = purse.

Should I unit test getters and setters?

If you tests use the getters/setters to achieve their goal of testing the "real" functionality, then that's good enough. If, on the other hand, your getters and setters do more than just get and set (i.e. they're properly complex methods), then yes, they should be tested.

Can we use getter without setter?

If your class is going to be used in the environment where setter is not required (e.g. ORM / dependency injection / serialization frameworks), it should be OK to do not use setter. In this particular case setter does not make much sense since variable is final and set only once.

Do getters and setters count as methods?

In Java, getter and setter are two conventional methods that are used for retrieving and updating the value of a variable. So, a setter is a method that updates the value of a variable. And a getter is a method that reads the value of a variable. Getter and setter are also known as accessor and mutator in Java.

What unit tests should cover?

Unit tests should validate all of the details, the corner cases and boundary conditions, etc. Component, integration, UI, and functional tests should be used more sparingly, to validate the behavior of the APIs or application as a whole.

Should you unit test every class?

I wouldn't recommend a strict mapping of one test per class. Some classes may not have much worth testing on their own. Some classes may require multiple tests because you want to specify different setups for different cases. You should use a code coverage tool like Cobertura and try to cover as much code as possible.

Can methods be private?

Methods that are private can only be called by methods within the same class or within the same "module". Methods are not commonly made private; usually they're made protected so that children can call them, or public so that other code can call them.

Why getters and setters are bad?

Getter and setter methods (also known as accessors) are dangerous for the same reason that public fields are dangerous: They provide external access to implementation details. What if you need to change the accessed field's type? You also have to change the accessor's return type.

Do most getters have a void return type?

Conventionally, setters should not return a value. Therefore, it needs to be a void method, because you're not returning anything from it (just initializing the instance variables). Getters, on the other hand, does return a value.

Do all classes need getters and setters?

Some data members may be entirely internal to the object, and should have neither getters nor setters. Some data members should be read-only, so they may need getters but not setters. Some data members may need to be kept consistent with each other.

What will happen if getters and setters are made private?

The reason for declaring the getters and setters private is to make the corresponding part of the object's abstract state (i.e. the values) private. That's largely independent of the decision to use getters and setters or not to hide the implementation types, prevent direct access, etc.

What is the more pythonic way to use getters and setters?

(Each decorator usage copies and updates the prior property object, so note that you should use the same name for each set, get, and delete function/method.) You should avoid this: def set_property(property,value): def get_property(property):
