Question

Set methods are also commonly called _____ methods, and get methods are also commonly called _____ methods.

Answer 1

Answer:

mutator, accessor

Explanation:

Set methods are commonly called mutator methods, and get methods are commonly called accessor methods.

This is because set methods are used to mutate the state of a variable. Get methods, on the other hand are used to access the current state of the variable.

For example:

class Demo{

    //Member variable

    private int var;

    //Accessor method

    public int getVar(){

          return var;

    }

    //Mutator method

    public void setVar(int value){

         var=value;

    }

}
