Getters and Setters Java Tutorial #84 

If you’re new to programming but want a career in tech, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND applying to one of Springboard’s online coding bootcamps (use code ALEXLEE for $1,000 off): bit.ly/3HX970h

My professor is useless. Thank you for this video, I needed it.

Just did my java final earlier this week, definitely would of failed without your videos, thanks for your good work!

This man has just saved my schooling career!!

Alex, please continue doing these tutorials. It helps me, and I'm sure a lot of others who want to extend their knowledge of Java.

Thank you! I have been writing get, set for a month without knowing why and when to use lol. Thanks a lot

bruh, this video explained "this' better than any of the other 10-20min videos out there specifically trying to explain "this". THANK YOU

Getters/setters also allow you to perform actions on the input before setting/getting the variable, for example, you could change the setName to this.name = name.toUpperCase(); This will set the variable to all caps. Getters/setters are very powerful when used correctly!

Alex. You are so humble person. Great and easy explanations of all topics. Please give more exsamples for oop concepts, array, collections. (You may give exsamples from real life). I recommend you to my friends they are very glad to watch you. Respect. You do such a great job.

Alex, your videos are incredibly helpful. You have a real knack for explaining confusing concepts in an extremely understandable and simple way. Thank you!

You are like a magician that casts a spell, and all of a sudden the fog is going away, making room for the sun to shine. My mind felt like clearing up while I was watching this awesome video of yours. There are many Java-related tutorial videos out there, but none of them have this talent to explain in such a clear and comprehensible way. Bonus points for your charismatic and charming charisma 😊😊

@Alex Lee All schools should have to pay a small dividend to you for students that passed their classes, but only did so because they watched your videos. You are a Java programming wizard in my book my man! Thanks for also stepping through how the compiler runs through the code. That really helped hit it home and tied it all together.

You make java extremely simple without over complicating it! Appreciate the videos man!

I'm currently taking this course and to have further knowledge, I watch your free videos. Thank you and please do create more!

You are awesome! i am studying CL and Java is my core subject atm and you really do make studying for my assignments easier! Thanks!

I havent seen any other tutorials that explain step by step of what you are doing and why. Thank you!! Youre the besttt

Alex!!! Thanks so much for all your videos! I've just started my Java course and your video's really help me out a lot!

I learned all of this through CS Awesome, but your vids had definitely clarified the details of java code and I thank you so much for it

your videos are really helping me get through my university programming classes, thank you.

Perfect explanations, easy to follow along. I can watch several of your videos and not get bored for even a second ❤

I have recently started to learn Java and when I saw him get excited by generating the getters and setters my heart skipped a beatt cause I'm used to that, but it's so cute when you see people get excited about things you already know or have. It makes me think of elderly who are surprised by all the new technologies

One of my favorite videos you've ever done. Thank you, Alex!!

Thank you very much. I was thinking it's gonna be very hard, but you're teaching very easy.

omg 13:01 the short cut is very useful ! Thank you Alex !!! Right click -->Source-->Generate Getters and Setters

Thanks once again Alex, appreciate all you do for us here on RU-vid. Very helpful! :)

When my professor introduced our getters/setters lecture, I thought this was about to be a deep lecture in OOP theory. Come to learn, it was all about creating instance methods to return the state of an object or implement some action on it's state within a client program. I wanted to leave after 5 minutes. I'll say though, I'm glad you've gone over this and I think your video is about the right amount of time for any student to understand these fundamental concepts.

i was so confused about the 'this' parameter but now i know ..........thank you alex for the precise info...love love

million thanks, Alex. Your tuts have simplified my study life in Java.

not that I didn't understand what setters and getters are for but I'm glad your youtube channel exists cause my java II professor barely teaches like this at all. Just gives us reading assignments and you basically gotta teach yourself the material

I have a test next week and this video really helped me ty!

Hello Alex. My name is Freeman, from Nigeria. Just to let you know that your videos made great impact to my learning java. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for your tutorials. You explain the concepts really well. Excellent work!

Man, now everything makes sense...thank you so much for making these videos :)

Thanks a lot man! You're the best. I finally got this, been struggling with it for quite a while.

Thanks for really sharing , good work with us, am really appreciating the good effort you are putting in. Honestly I have understood the topic well. Thank you very much Lee

Holy crap I'm glad I stuck around for the bonus tip! thanks for the video Alex

That trick using Eclipse to generate the getters and setters was really neat!! Thank you!

Dude Thank you so muchhhh for create these videos 🥺❤️❤️ They don't teach us anything at uni . Your videos helped me a lot .Thank you wish you the bests 🙏🏻

I've watched hours of tutorials on RU-vid but this one just clicked with me! Great job, good teacher 👍

Thanks a lot ! I actually tried finding a video explaining this keyword and getter and setter for over 4 hours, and I found this now. You actually make concepts a lot easier to understand. And thanks again, I needed this for an assignment.

Thanks for this! I've been able to complete my Performance Task. I appreciate you sir!

I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS! Thanks a lot

You explained more in the first minute than my damn class and professor did this whole semester. Thank you!

big like for the bonus tip. That saves sooooo much time. Thanks! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

My finals is in few hours and this definitely helped me understand on why, where and when to use getter and setter. Thank you so much Sir 😭🙏🏻✨

6:22 It doesn't confuse the computer (or rather the compiler). It simply sets the local variable 'name' to itself. By doing this it doesn't achieve the goal you want because the name of the scope variable and object variable are the same and the latest defined variable in the scope will always be used. On another note: Getters and setters are a lot of boilerplate code. Even for beginners I would suggest using something the like Lombok extension / plugin for Java. Creating something like the Account class in this video can then be done with: @Data public class Account { private String name; private int age; } That piece of code will have getters and setters and even equalization that is desired. At compile time it will be converted to normal Java code. Or if that is too much you can also use public class Account { @Getter @Setter private String name; @Getter @Setter private int age; }

I'm starting java this semester and I'm trying to wrap my head around OOP. Thank you sooo much So helpful!

Bro ya really inspires me to code all days when im fell discouraged , greetings from Mexico !

Just learned this in my AP comp sci course, nice vid

Thank you so much for this video! I am trying to learn java in my freetime and for some reason, I couldn't quite understand what's it about with getters and setters. This video helped a lot!

Alex! thank you; i finally understand setters and getters after watching this :)

You are amazing. I thank God that you made this tutorial because not gonna lie, I need you in my life 💯

Couldn't understand the concept but gosh Thank You for the simple and clear explanation!!!

You explained in 5 minutes what my professor couldn’t explain in 2 weeks, well done!

Extremely helpful! Thank you, Alex!

I'm so grateful for all of Alex's YT videos haha

thank u alex lee..your teaching is simple and understanding

amazing explaination and also very fast thank you for this!

Superb I couldn't understand this when my lecturer taught me but after seeing yours I can

Great video again!! 😊👍 But i wonder if you, in the future can make seperate class files for the methods etc...since that is actually how the program has to be stuctured. But by all means, love you videos!!❤

Thanks 4 making this really technical.I was so worried youd make this easy.

Alex, you’re the teacher we needed! 👏🏽

Great video! Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Amazing work! Thank you!

Hey, just wanna say you're really awesome! Your tutorial really helps and its very easy to understand. My professor's teaching is nowhere near your teaching. I hope you continue to make these videos, thank you so much for these!

Thank you. Your videos are beneficial! Grateful🙏

Great job Alex! Well done.

Alex I have watched many videos however you are the best !

very well explained. excellent. thanks so much

Thank you so much Alex. The best wish for you bro

I'm grateful I found this channel. Thank you very much sir! I'll be more happy if you make a video for "Different Errors in Java programming and how to fix them" and "Shortcuts and the environment of Eclipse" (cause we can't edit in Photoshop without knowing it's tools right?) Thank you again sirr!

You don't know how much this has cleared for me

Helped a lot! Thanks!

Great! The author decided from the very beginning to teach programmers what everyone has been trying to unlearn for about 15 years now: write accessor methods.

Hey ! Alex, I am from India. This comment is to thanks you "This video help me to understand getter & setters easily" , also your bonus tip is just like you nailed it.
