Answer 5

When you want to get for example your IP address from your computer, the class that controls it will only allow you to GET it, and not SET it.

It is there to help the whole program work as it should. Instead of allowing the Programmer to change their IP address, it only allows them to view it.

I hope you understand the example.

There are other examples as well. Like get current time.
