Solidity Programming Language – Functions | Getter and Setter Function

In Solidity, a programming language for developing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain, getter and setter functions are commonly used to access and modify the state variables of a contract.

Getter Function:

• A getter function is a function that allows you to retrieve the current value of a state variable from a smart contract.
• Getter functions are typically defined with the view or pure modifier to indicate that they do not modify the state of the contract.
• Example of a getter function:

Setter Function:

• A setter function is a function that allows you to update or modify the value of a state variable in a smart contract.
• Setter functions often include additional logic to ensure that the new value being set complies with certain conditions.
