Get {} Set {}?

In C# you can do this

Code:

---

private int iCoins;
public int Coins
{
        Get
        {
                return this.iCoins;
        }
        Set
        {
                this.iCoins = value;
        }
}

---

is there a way to do something like this in java

I dont have a java compiler on the computer i am using, so i dont know if this syntax is allowed. Try this.

Code:

---

private int iCoins;

public int getCoins(int value)
 {
    //Set 'iCoins'
    this.iCoins = value;
    //Return the value of 'iCoins'
    return iCoins;
 }

---

I dont think you need to use this when returning iCoins.

In java you have to write the accessors yourself:

Code:

---

class Person
{
    private String firstName;
    private String surName;

    void setFirstName(String s)
    {
        firstName = s;
    }

    String getFirstName()
    {
        return firstName;
    }

    String getSurName()
    {
        return SurName;
    }
}

---

SurName would be read-only as you have no set method for it. To get and set the properties:

Code:

---

p = new Person();

p.setFirstName('Santa');

---

damn i was hoping that i would be able to do

Code:

---

class yyy
{
        private String sMyString;
        public String MyString
        {
                get
                {
                        return this.sMyString;
                }
                set
                {
                        this.sMyString = value;
                        System.out.writeln("MyString has been changed to: " + value);
                }
        }
}
class xxx
{
        public xxx()
        {
                yyy y = new yyy();
                y.MyString = "Hello World!";
        }
}

---

or something alone those line.

Nope. Properties don't exist in Java proper. (No loss IMHO.) Bean scripting environments, however, will use the get/set pattern to create properties.
