Setter and getter question

Question

why is this setter and getter code doesnt print "electric"?

class Myclass{
public static void main(String[]args){
Pokemon.settype("electric");
System.out.println(Pokemon.gettype());

}
}

class Pokemon{
private String type;
static void settype(String t){
this.type=t;
}

static String gettype(){
return type;
}

}

Answer 1

You shouldn't use static for both the getter and setter as each Pokemon have different types, making it static means they all share the same properties.

Here's a proper way to do it, or better still, use a constructor to set it:-

Answer 3

@Gordie
it can run now after i add static to type

class Myclass{
public static void main(String[]args){
Pokemon.settype("electric");
System.out.println(Pokemon.gettype());

}
}

class Pokemon{
private static String type;
static void settype(String t){
type=t;
}

static String gettype(){
return type;
}

}
