console.log(obj.latest); //output: 'd'javascript getters and setters
/*Getter functions are meant to simply return (get) the value of an object's
private variable to the user without the user directly accessing the private
variable.*/
/*Setter functions are meant to modify (set) the value of an object's private
variable based on the value passed into the setter function. This change could
involve calculations, or even overwriting the previous value completely.*/

1) Syntax reasons. It’s easier and faster to read code
created with accessor functions
2) Encapsulation. I can create safer code with accessor functions.Copyright © 2021 Codeinu
