Metoda Getter in Setter v primeru Jave

Metode pridobivanja in nastavljanja se pogosto uporabljajo v programiranju v Javi. Metode pridobivanja in nastavljanja v Javi se pogosto uporabljajo za dostop in manipulacijo vrednosti polj razreda. Običajno so polja razreda okrašena z zasebnim specifikatorjem dostopa. Tako se za dostop do njih uporabljajo specifikatorji javnega dostopa z metodama getter in setter.

Potreba po metodi pridobivanja in postavljanja

Lahko bi trdili, da razglasite polja razreda kot javna in odstranite metodi getter in setter. Vendar pa je tak slog kodiranja slab in lahko poljem razreda dodamo absurdno vrednost. Razumejmo to s pomočjo primera.

 public class GetterSetterExample { public salary; public storeSalaryDB(int salary) { // code for storing the salary in the database } // main method public static void main(String argvs[]) { GetterSetterExample obj = new GetterSetterExample(); obj.salary = -50000; // storing salary in database obj.storeSalaryDB(salary); } } 

Opazite, da koda v zbirko podatkov shranjuje negativno plačo, ki je napačna. Organizacija nikoli ne pripiše negativne plače na račun zaposlenega. Do dodelitve absurdnega zneska spremenljivki plača se je zgodilo, ker je deklarirana s specifikatorjem javnega dostopa. Pravilen način za pisanje zgornje kode je:

 public class GetterSetterExample { private salary; // a setter method that assign a // value to the salary variable void setSalary(int s) { if(s <0 ) { s="-s;" } this.salary="s;" a getter mehtod to retrieve the salary int getsalary() return this.salary; public storesalarydb(int salary) code for storing in database system.out.println('the ') main method static void main(string argvs[]) creating an object of class gettersetterexample obj="new" gettersetterexample(); obj.setsalary(-50000); obj.storesalarydb(salary); < pre> <p>Now, we can see better control over what we send to the database to store. Whenever the salary is negative, we are converting the salary into a positive value, and then we are sending it to the database to store. Thus, no matter what value we send to the setter method, the if-block of the setter method takes care of the absurd value and thus gives better control on the salary value.</p> <h2>Getter Setter Java Program</h2> <p> <strong>FileName:</strong> GetterSetterExample1.java</p> <pre> class Employee { // class member variable private int eId; private String eName; private String eDesignation; private String eCompany; public int getEmpId() { return eId; } public void setEmpId(final int eId) { this.eId = eId; } public String getEmpName() { return eName; } public void setEmpName(final String eName) { // Validating the employee&apos;s name and // throwing an exception if the name is null or its length is less than or equal to 0. if(eName == null || eName.length() <= 0) { throw new illegalargumentexception(); } this.ename="eName;" public string getempdesignation() return edesignation; void setempdesignation(final edesignation) this.edesignation="eDesignation;" getempcompany() ecompany; setempcompany(final ecompany) this.ecompany="eCompany;" for printing the values @override tostring() str="Employee: [id = " + getempid() ', name=" + getEmpName() + " , designation=" + getEmpDesignation() + " company=" + getEmpCompany() + " ]'; str; main class. class gettersetterexample1 method static main(string argvs[]) creating an object of employee final emp="new" employee(); details are getting set using setter methods. emp.setempid(107); emp.setempname('kathy'); emp.setempdesignation('software tester'); emp.setempcompany('xyz corporation'); displaying 'tostring()' method, which uses getter methods system.out.println(emp.tostring()); < pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <pre> Employee: [id = 107, name = Kathy, designation = Software Tester, company = XYZ Corporation] </pre> <h2>Bad Practices in Getter and Setter Methods</h2> <p>There are some common bad practices that people usually do when they deal with the getter and setter methods.</p> <h3>Bad Practice 1:</h3> <p>Using getter and setter for the variable that is declared with low restricted scope.</p> <pre> public salary; void setSalary(int s) { salary = s; } int getSalary() { return salary; } </pre> <p>It is evident that from the main method, one can directly access the variable salary, which is not only bad but also makes the presence of the getter and setter methods irrelevant.</p> <h3>Bad Practice 2:</h3> <p>Using an object reference in the setter method.

Slabe prakse v metodah Getter in Setter

Obstaja nekaj običajnih slabih praks, ki jih ljudje običajno počnejo, ko imajo opravka z metodami pridobivanja in postavljanja.

chrome naslovna vrstica

Slaba praksa 1:

Uporaba getterja in setterja za spremenljivko, ki je deklarirana z nizkim omejenim obsegom.

 public salary; void setSalary(int s) { salary = s; } int getSalary() { return salary; } 

Očitno je, da je z glavno metodo mogoče neposredno dostopati do variabilne plače, kar ni samo slabo, temveč tudi povzroči nepomembnost prisotnosti metod getter in setter.

Slaba praksa 2:

Uporaba sklicevanja na objekt v metodi nastavitve. Razmislite o naslednjem programu.

Pojasnilo:

Z referencami je malo težko ravnati! V zgornji kodi je bila v vrstici 43 vrednost posodobljena pri 0. indeksu za matriko mainArr[]. Vendar se je odrazilo tudi v matriki val[]. To se ne bi smelo zgoditi, ker je matrika val[] razglašena za zasebno; zato se pričakuje, da ga nobena koda zunaj razreda ABC ne bi smela spreminjati. Zaradi referenc pa je vse popackano. Metoda nastavitve setVal() pričakuje referenco matrike int, v vrstici 7 pa se referenca int arr[] kopira v val[]. Upoštevajte, da referenčna spremenljivka arr[] shranjuje referenco matrike mainArr[]. Tako lahko rečemo, da val[] shranjuje referenco mainArr[].

Igralec Rekha

Zato se karkoli spremenimo v mainArr[], odraža tudi v matriki val[], kar krši namen nastavitvene metode. Prav tako ni smisla dodajati specifikatorja zasebnega dostopa v matriko val[]; ker lahko spremenite vrednost matrike val[] v glavni metodi, kar je razvidno s pogledom na izhod.

Pojasnilo:

V zgornji kodi delamo globoko kopijo elementov matrike arr[]. V vrstici 11 ustvarjamo povsem novo matriko. Tako se val[] ne nanaša na arr[]. Poleg tega se v vrstici 17 kopirajo samo vrednosti elementa. Zato, ko spremenimo vrednost 0. elementa v vrstici 53, se sprememba ne odraža v val[]. Tako zgornja koda upošteva enkapsulacijo spremenljivke zasebnega člana val[].

The proper way to handle the above is:</p> <p> <strong>FileName:</strong> GetterSetterExample5.java</p> <pre> class ABC { private int[] val = {67, 43, 68, 112, 70, 12}; // the getter method public int[] getVal() { int size = val.length; // creating a new array int temp[] = new int[size]; // copying the content of the array to temp array for(int i = 0; i <size; 54 i++) { temp[i]="val[i];" } return temp; for displaying the value present in val array void display() int size="(this.val).length;" for(int i="0;" < size; system.out.print(this.val[i] + \' \'); main class. public class gettersetterexample5 method static main(string argvs[]) instantiating abc obj="new" abc(); invoking getter and storing result arr[]="obj.getVal();" display obj.display(); updating at 0th index arr[0]="-1;" line system.out.println(); pre> <p> <strong>Output:</strong> </p> <pre> 67 43 68 112 70 12 67 43 68 112 70 12 </pre> <p> <strong>Explanation:</strong> In the above code, the reference of the private array is not sent to the outside world. In the getter method, a new array is created whose reference is sent to the main method. Therefore, when the value at the 0th index gets changed at line 54, that change impacts the temp[] array, not the private array val[]. Thus, the encapsulation of the class ABC is maintained, as the reference of the array val[] is not exposed to the outside world.</p> <h4>Note 1: For primitive data types (int, char, etc.), one does not need to create a copy in the getter and setter methods, as the concept of references is absent for the primitive data types.</h4> <h4>Note 2: Strings object types also work on the references. However, unlike the above examples, one does not need to take care of the String references exposed to the outside world. It is because Strings are immutable.

Pojasnilo:

Zgornja koda ne obravnava pravilno referenc. Metoda getter vrne referenco matrike. Arr[] shranjuje referenco matrike val[], ki je razglašena za zasebno v razredu ABC. Zaradi izpostavljanja sklicevanja na zunanji svet lahko arr[] manipulira z val[] in tako je prekršena inkapsulacija razreda ABC. Pravilen način za ravnanje z zgoraj navedenim je:

Pojasnilo: V zgornji kodi referenca zasebnega polja ni poslana v zunanji svet. V metodi getter se ustvari nova matrika, katere referenca se pošlje glavni metodi. Zato, ko se vrednost pri 0. indeksu spremeni v vrstici 54, ta sprememba vpliva na matriko temp[], ne na zasebno matriko val[]. Tako se ohrani enkapsulacija razreda ABC, saj referenca matrike val[] ni izpostavljena zunanjemu svetu.

Opomba 1: Za primitivne tipe podatkov (int, char itd.) ni treba ustvariti kopije v metodah getter in setter, saj za primitivne tipe podatkov ni koncepta referenc.

Opomba 2: Tipi objektov nizov delujejo tudi na referencah. Vendar pa za razliko od zgornjih primerov ni treba skrbeti za reference niza, ki so izpostavljene zunanjemu svetu. To je zato, ker so nizi nespremenljivi. Torej, ko nekdo manipulira z nizom v glavni metodi (ali kjer koli drugje), se ustvari nov objekt String, prejšnji pa ostane nedotaknjen.

Ime datoteke: GetterSetterExample6.java

 class ABC { private String str = null; // a setter method void setVal(String s) { // reference is getting copied this.str = s; } // for displaying the string void display() { System.out.println( &apos;The String is: &apos; + this.str); } } // Main class. public class GetterSetterExample6 { // main method public static void main(String argvs[]) { // creating an object of the class ABC ABC obj = new ABC(); // input string String inputStr = &apos;Hello India!&apos;; // invoking the setter method obj.setVal(inputStr); obj.display(); // manipulation is not allowed! // it leads to the creation of the new string inputStr = &apos;Hello World!&apos;; obj.display(); } } 

Izhod:

 The String is: Hello India! The String is: Hello India!
