I could use my getter and setter methods in 2 special kinds.
1: Defining explicit getter/setter Methods
class Invader
{
// Defining my variable
private MapLocation _location;
// public getter-Method()
public MapLocation GetLocation()
{
return _location;
}
// public setter-Method()
public void SetLocation(MapLocation value)
{
_location = value;
}
}
2: Defining a public variable that points with its getter/setter to my private variable
class Invader
{
// Defining my variable
private MapLocation _location;
// public accessable variable including its getter/setter
public MapLocation Location
{
get
{
return _location;
}
set
{
_location = value;
}
}
}
Is there any functional difference between these to ways to use getter/setter? Or is that just a matter of personal preference?
