There's no getter, and joke is private

literally you can't get it

the method doesn't act as a constructor, that's how a setter works

the difference is

in a constructor you give the value in creation

in a setter you change the current value (no constructor, so default for objects is null)

We divide modifiers into two groups:

Access Modifiers - controls the access level
Non-Access Modifiers - do not control access level, but provides other functionality

So public code is accessible for all classes.

But private code is only accessible within the declared class.

So the private attribute Joke can't access directly.

In this case, we use setter and getter.

@autumn panther Not sure if you understood it, but that is the answer to your question.

The subtitle says "You wouldn't get it", which is funny because there's no way for you to get the joke instance from the object.
You would be able to set it, but not to get it.

the joke is private class so you can't get it simply
