Get and Set Functions

[Chan]

I don't really understand the GET and SET functions inside of a function. The functions go like this:

int somefunction() {
Get {
   return variable;
}

set {
   variable = this;
}
}

Where do you send the variable for set? When was this added? It seems like a neat way to create functions in classes and not have to create a new get/set function for everything.

I think you're describing Properties, but the syntax is a bit off. Instead of function someFunction, it'd be property someProperty.

The value in the set is implicit - it's what gets passed when you say object.someProperty = x; (x is the passed value).

It's cleaner than Java's getProperty, setProperty IMHO.

Yes... Java is cleaner than C++ in some cases. >>... <<...

You need these for properties, not functions. You have it wrong.
