How do I use getters and setters in JavaScript?

Getters and setters are special methods that allow you to define how properties of an object are accessed and modified. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

class Person {
    constructor(name) {
        this._name = name;
    }

    get name() {
        return this._name;
    }

    set name(newName) {
        this._name = newName;
    }
}

const person = new Person('Alice');
console.log(person.name); // Alice
person.name = 'Bob';
console.log(person.name); // Bob

What are the benefits of using getters and setters?

They provide a way to control access to properties, allowing for validation and encapsulation, which enhances code maintainability.
