Kotlin : Public get private set var

Question

What is the correct way to define a var in kotlin that has a public getter and private (only internally modifiable) setter?

Answer 1

You can easily do it using the following approach:

var atmosphericPressure: Double = 760.0
    get() = field
    private set(value) { 
        field = value 
    }
