getters
People who obtain
Getters is programming jargon for methods that retrieve the value of an object's property.
They typically appear paired with setters, which assign values: The class uses getters and setters to control access to private variables.
The pattern enforces encapsulation—external code accesses data through these methods rather than directly.
