Java Constructor and Getter and Setter Methods
Hello
I have a quick question regarding Java Constructor and Getter and Setter Methods.
Do you have to declare and initialize both a constructor and getter and setter methods in your class. Or can you choose one or the other?
Thanks

but I have read that this is poor practice for encapsulation.Depends who you ask I reckon. Dot notational access implies leaving the back door open for anyone who wants a cup of sugar. Getter method will pass you the sugar through a hatch.
See this.

great website!
thanks again

Cool.
Sorry, If the class variables are private I mean.
I know how to use the dot notation to call a class variable i.e. var.name = "John" but I have read that this is poor practice for encapsulation.
Does Encapsulation require a constructor followed by getter and setter methods?
