שיטות גטר ו-seter משמשות לעתים קרובות בתכנות Java. שיטות גטר ו-seter ב-Java נמצאים בשימוש נרחב כדי לגשת ולתפעל את הערכים של שדות כיתה. בדרך כלל, שדות כיתה מעוטרים במפרט גישה פרטית. לפיכך, כדי לגשת אליהם, משתמשים במפרטי גישה ציבורית עם שיטות getter ו-seter.

הצורך בשיטת גטר וסטר

אפשר לטעון להכריז על שדות המחלקה כציבוריים ולהסיר את שיטות getter ו-seter. עם זאת, סגנון קידוד כזה הוא גרוע, ואפשר לשים ערך אבסורדי כלשהו בשדות הכיתה. בואו נבין את זה בעזרת דוגמה.

 public class GetterSetterExample { public salary; public storeSalaryDB(int salary) { // code for storing the salary in the database } // main method public static void main(String argvs[]) { GetterSetterExample obj = new GetterSetterExample(); obj.salary = -50000; // storing salary in database obj.storeSalaryDB(salary); } } 

שימו לב שהקוד מאחסן משכורת שלילית במאגר השגוי. ארגון אף פעם לא זוכה שכר שלילי לחשבון של עובד. הקצאת סכום אבסורדי למשתנה השכר קרה בגלל שהוא מוכרז עם מפרט גישה לציבור. הדרך הנכונה לכתוב את הקוד לעיל היא:

 public class GetterSetterExample { private salary; // a setter method that assign a // value to the salary variable void setSalary(int s) { if(s <0 ) { s="-s;" } this.salary="s;" a getter mehtod to retrieve the salary int getsalary() return this.salary; public storesalarydb(int salary) code for storing in database system.out.println('the ') main method static void main(string argvs[]) creating an object of class gettersetterexample obj="new" gettersetterexample(); obj.setsalary(-50000); obj.storesalarydb(salary); < pre> <p>Now, we can see better control over what we send to the database to store. Whenever the salary is negative, we are converting the salary into a positive value, and then we are sending it to the database to store. Thus, no matter what value we send to the setter method, the if-block of the setter method takes care of the absurd value and thus gives better control on the salary value.</p> <h2>Getter Setter Java Program</h2> <p> <strong>FileName:</strong> GetterSetterExample1.java</p> <pre> class Employee { // class member variable private int eId; private String eName; private String eDesignation; private String eCompany; public int getEmpId() { return eId; } public void setEmpId(final int eId) { this.eId = eId; } public String getEmpName() { return eName; } public void setEmpName(final String eName) { // Validating the employee&apos;s name and // throwing an exception if the name is null or its length is less than or equal to 0. if(eName == null || eName.length() <= 0) { throw new illegalargumentexception(); } this.ename="eName;" public string getempdesignation() return edesignation; void setempdesignation(final edesignation) this.edesignation="eDesignation;" getempcompany() ecompany; setempcompany(final ecompany) this.ecompany="eCompany;" for printing the values @override tostring() str="Employee: [id = " + getempid() ', name=" + getEmpName() + " , designation=" + getEmpDesignation() + " company=" + getEmpCompany() + " ]'; str; main class. class gettersetterexample1 method static main(string argvs[]) creating an object of employee final emp="new" employee(); details are getting set using setter methods. emp.setempid(107); emp.setempname('kathy'); emp.setempdesignation('software tester'); emp.setempcompany('xyz corporation'); displaying 'tostring()' method, which uses getter methods system.out.println(emp.tostring()); < pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <pre> Employee: [id = 107, name = Kathy, designation = Software Tester, company = XYZ Corporation] </pre> <h2>Bad Practices in Getter and Setter Methods</h2> <p>There are some common bad practices that people usually do when they deal with the getter and setter methods.</p> <h3>Bad Practice 1:</h3> <p>Using getter and setter for the variable that is declared with low restricted scope.</p> <pre> public salary; void setSalary(int s) { salary = s; } int getSalary() { return salary; } </pre> <p>It is evident that from the main method, one can directly access the variable salary, which is not only bad but also makes the presence of the getter and setter methods irrelevant.</p> <h3>Bad Practice 2:</h3> <p>Using an object reference in the setter method.

פרקטיקות רעות בשיטות גטר וסטר

יש כמה שיטות רעות נפוצות שאנשים עושים בדרך כלל כשהם מתמודדים עם שיטות ה-Getter ו-Setter.

אורך מחרוזת bash

תרגול רע 1:

שימוש ב-getter ו-seter עבור המשתנה המוצהר עם היקף מוגבל.

 public salary; void setSalary(int s) { salary = s; } int getSalary() { return salary; } 

ניכר כי מהשיטה הראשית ניתן לגשת ישירות לשכר המשתנה, וזה לא רק רע אלא גם הופך את נוכחותן של שיטות הגטר והגדיר ללא רלוונטיות.

קצת מסובך להתמודד עם הפניות! בקוד שלמעלה, בשורה 43, הערך עודכן באינדקס ה-0 עבור array mainArr[]. עם זאת, זה גם בא לידי ביטוי ב-array val[]. זה לא אמור לקרות כאשר מערך val[] מוכרז כפרטי; לפיכך, צפוי שכל קוד מחוץ למחלקה ABC לא ישנה אותו. עם זאת, בגלל הפניות, הכל מבולגן. שיטת ה-seter setVal() מצפה להפניה של מערך int, ובשורה 7, ההפניה של int arr[] מועתקת ל-val[]. שים לב שמשתנה ההתייחסות arr[] מאחסן את ההפניה של המערך mainArr[]. לפיכך, אנו יכולים לומר ש-val[] מאחסן את ההפניה של ה-mainArr[].

לכן, כל מה שנשנה ב-mainArr[] משתקף גם במערך val[], מה שמפר את המטרה של שיטת ה-seter. כמו כן, אין משמעות בהוספת מפרט הגישה הפרטית למערך val[]; כי אפשר לשנות את הערך של מערך val[] בשיטה הראשית, וזה ניכר מהסתכלות על הפלט.

The proper way to handle the above is:</p> <p> <strong>FileName:</strong> GetterSetterExample5.java</p> <pre> class ABC { private int[] val = {67, 43, 68, 112, 70, 12}; // the getter method public int[] getVal() { int size = val.length; // creating a new array int temp[] = new int[size]; // copying the content of the array to temp array for(int i = 0; i <size; 54 i++) { temp[i]="val[i];" } return temp; for displaying the value present in val array void display() int size="(this.val).length;" for(int i="0;" < size; system.out.print(this.val[i] + \' \'); main class. public class gettersetterexample5 method static main(string argvs[]) instantiating abc obj="new" abc(); invoking getter and storing result arr[]="obj.getVal();" display obj.display(); updating at 0th index arr[0]="-1;" line system.out.println(); pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <pre> 67 43 68 112 70 12 67 43 68 112 70 12 </pre> <p> <strong>Explanation:</strong> In the above code, the reference of the private array is not sent to the outside world. In the getter method, a new array is created whose reference is sent to the main method. Therefore, when the value at the 0th index gets changed at line 54, that change impacts the temp[] array, not the private array val[]. Thus, the encapsulation of the class ABC is maintained, as the reference of the array val[] is not exposed to the outside world.</p> <h4>Note 1: For primitive data types (int, char, etc.), one does not need to create a copy in the getter and setter methods, as the concept of references is absent for the primitive data types.</h4> <h4>Note 2: Strings object types also work on the references. However, unlike the above examples, one does not need to take care of the String references exposed to the outside world. It is because Strings are immutable. Thus, when one manipulates the string in the main method (or anywhere else), a new String object is created, and the previous one remains untouched.</h4> <p> <strong>FileName:</strong> GetterSetterExample6.java</p> <pre> class ABC { private String str = null; // a setter method void setVal(String s) { // reference is getting copied this.str = s; } // for displaying the string void display() { System.out.println( &apos;The String is: &apos; + this.str); } } // Main class. public class GetterSetterExample6 { // main method public static void main(String argvs[]) { // creating an object of the class ABC ABC obj = new ABC(); // input string String inputStr = &apos;Hello India!&apos;; // invoking the setter method obj.setVal(inputStr); obj.display(); // manipulation is not allowed! // it leads to the creation of the new string inputStr = &apos;Hello World!&apos;; obj.display(); } } </pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <pre> The String is: Hello India!

הקוד לעיל אינו מטפל בהפניות כראוי. שיטת getter מחזירה את ההפניה של המערך. ה-arr[] מאחסן את ההפניה של ערך המערך[], שהוכרז כפרטי במחלקה ABC. בגלל חשיפת ההתייחסות לעולם החיצון, arr[] יכול לתמרן את ה-val[], וכך, ה-Encapsulation של המחלקה ABC נפרצה. הדרך הנכונה להתמודד עם האמור לעיל היא:

הֶסבֵּר: בקוד לעיל, ההפניה של המערך הפרטי לא נשלחת לעולם החיצון. בשיטת getter נוצר מערך חדש שההפניה שלו נשלחת למתודה הראשית. לכן, כאשר הערך באינדקס ה-0 משתנה בשורה 54, השינוי הזה משפיע על מערך ה-temp[], לא על ערך המערך הפרטי[]. לפיכך, האנקפסולציה של המחלקה ABC נשמרת, מכיוון שההתייחסות של מערך הערך[] אינה חשופה לעולם החיצון.

הערה 1: עבור סוגי נתונים פרימיטיביים (int, char וכו'), אין צורך ליצור עותק בשיטות getter ו-seter, מכיוון שמושג הפניות נעדר עבור סוגי הנתונים הפרימיטיביים.

הערה 2: סוגי אובייקטים של מחרוזות פועלים גם על הפניות. עם זאת, בניגוד לדוגמאות לעיל, אין צורך לטפל בהפניות למחרוזות שנחשפות לעולם החיצון. זה בגלל שהמחרוזות אינן ניתנות לשינוי. לפיכך, כאשר מתפעלים את המחרוזת בשיטה הראשית (או בכל מקום אחר), נוצר אובייקט String חדש, והקודם נשאר ללא נגיעה.
