Go up one level in this thread

Hi Uri,

I read your questions twice but I am still not sure what you are asking for.
Nevertheless I try an answer.

The "variables" of the class are called "attributes". The "functions" of the
class are called "members" or "member-functions".

Don´t use attributes as parameters to members as they have direct access to
those attributes. This works very well if classes don´t get too large.

To get "perfect":
If ever you access an attribute use "getter" and "setter". A getter is a member
that gets the value of an attribute, the setter sets it´s value. I use this
method in larger classes only.

Greetings Volker
