new to java and have a question about getters and setters 1

[csphard]

I created this class and I do not understand why this returns a 0 versus the 1 I am sending?

Thanks
public class myTest
{
private int myNumber;

public myTest()
{
int myNumber;
}

public int getMyNumber() {
return myNumber;
}
public void setMyNumber(int d) {
this.myNumber = myNumber;
}



public static void main(String[] args)
{

myTest mt = new myTest();
mt.setMyNumber(1);
System.out.println(mt.getMyNumber());
}
}

Argument of your function setMyNumber() is d and in the body you have
this.myNumber = myNumber
You have to change it either to

public void setMyNumber(int d) {
  this.myNumber = d;
}

or

public void setMyNumber(int myNumber) {
  this.myNumber = myNumber;
}

 

[borkut]

public void setMyNumber(int d) {
this.myNumber = myNumber;
}

in your code above you are not using the value that you have passed in "d". you are simply assigning a non-static int variable to itself.
and the reason behind why it is printing value "0" is that when a primitive veriable gets a memory inside an refrenced variable it is initialized to its default value of its datatype.And the default value of int datatype is "0".
