Looking for a short & simple example of getters/setters in C#

Question

I am having trouble understanding the concept of getters and setters in the C# language. In languages like Objective-C, they seem an integral part of the system, bu

Answer 1

Most languages do it this way, and you can do it in C# too.

    public void setRAM(int RAM)
    {
        this.RAM = RAM;
    }
    public int getRAM()
    {
        return this.RAM;
    }

But C# also gives a more elegant solution to this :

    public class Computer
    {
        int ram;
        public int RAM 
        { 
             get 
             {
                  return ram;
             }
             set 
             {
                  ram = value; // value is a reserved word and it is a variable that holds the input that is given to ram ( like in the example below )
             }
        }
     }

And later access it with.

    Computer comp = new Computer();
    comp.RAM = 1024;
    int var = comp.RAM;

For newer versions of C# it's even better :

public class Computer
{
    public int RAM { get; set; }
}

and later :

Computer comp = new Computer();
comp.RAM = 1024;
int var = comp.RAM;
