get methods
[/ɡɛt ˈmɛθədz/]
noun
métodos get / métodos acessadores
1. In object-oriented programming, methods used to retrieve or access the value of a private or protected attribute/property of a class without directly accessing it
The class uses get methods to allow external code to read the value of private variables.
A classe usa métodos get para permitir que código externo leia o valor de variáveis privadas.
2. Methods that follow the naming convention 'get' followed by the property name, commonly used in Java and other OOP languages
The getName() method is a get method that returns the value of the name property.
O método getName() é um método get que retorna o valor da propriedade name.
3. Part of the getter/setter pattern for encapsulation and data protection in software development
Implementing get methods ensures proper encapsulation of object data.
Implementar métodos get garante o encapsulamento adequado dos dados do objeto.
This is primarily technical jargon used in software development and computer science education. The term 'get methods' is universally used in both English and Portuguese-speaking programming communities without translation, though 'métodos acessadores' is the formal Portuguese equivalent. Understanding get methods is fundamental to object-oriented programming courses taught in Brazilian universities and tech training programs.
