A getter is a method that gets the value of a property. A setter is a method that sets the value of a property. There is some contention about their efficacy, but the points are generally:

  • for completeness of encapsulation

  • to maintain a consistent interface in case internal details change

More useful is when you need to add some logic around getting or setting, like validating a value before you write it.
