Java setters and getters

Question

I have been struggling with setters and getters in java for quite a long time now.

For instance, if I want to write a class with some information as name, sex, age

Answer 1

You need to create an object of one class in the other class. You can then call the .get() and .set() methods on them. I will post an example in 2 minutes

First class (i'll call it Person) will have methods to return its fields

private String name = "";
private String age = 0;

public Person(String name, int age) {
  this.name = name;
  this.age = age;
}

public String getName() {
  return name;
}

public int getAge() {
  return age;
}

The second class will call those methods after it creates an object of the first class

bob = new Person("Bob", 21);
System.out.println("Your name is: " +  bob.getName() + 
                    " and you are " +  bob.getAge());
