Hello, Shivam Mirje ! "Getter" - allows you to get values ​​(read values). "Setter" - write values ​​to a variable. In the code they are the usual methods. But the method name always starts with the prefix get or set.

Getters allow you to get the value, but you can add other code to it. Setters allow you to set the value, and you can add other code to it. Hope it helps!😉
