bookGet and Set

Getter and setter are methods for non-direct access to the attributes:

  • get() (getter) returns the value of the private attribute;
  • set() (setter) sets the value.

These methods are called properties.

You can implement them by defining two additional methods:

12345678910111213141516171819202122
class Cat: def __init__(self, name = 'Kitty', age = 1): self.name = name self.__age = age self.__children = 0 # Getter def get_age(self): return self.__age # Setter def set_age(self, age): if isinstance(age, int) and 0 <= age <= 30: self.__age = age else: print('Invalid value of attribute age') cat = Cat('Maggie', 3) # Wrong value cat.set_age(-23) cat.set_age(8) print(cat.get_age())
copy

Note

We added data validation inside the set_age() method. Only the correct integer value can be assigned to the attribute.

Tout était clair ?
