The names of the getMinutes
, setMinutes
, getHours
, and
setHours
methods, with the get
and set
prefixes, makes
it clear that the methods are getters and setters, but the use of
get
and set
is a convention, rather than a language-enforced imperative. You
should follow the convention, however, because certain Java programming
environments expect getters and setters to have names that begin with
get
and set
.
