what don't you understand

#

why they exist?

#

they are great for flexibility, if down the road you want to add some extra functionality when a value changes you can add that in the setter rather than modify every line of code that sets it

#

also with binary compatibility, if you have a library that doesn't use setters and your class' data layout changes, any program that links to a previous version of your library will stop working

No its just functions that set (setter) or retreive (getter) the value of an object

Is it better be used in public or private?

#

So setter and getters does the job of like simplfying the codes(Organize codes) and can be used in modyfing code faster?

#

Based om ms. Camila and Epsilon info, setters & getters has the input(setting value) and output(getting value) of an object and used in public or private. Also the code can be changed depending on setters and getters.

yeah in short if you have private members getters allows you to get the private member indirectly. setters allows you to set the value of the private member indirectly as well. thats how it works in short
