Naming Conventions for Accessors
from: C++ Programming Guidelines (cginternals.github.io)
When naming accessors within classes, non-trivial getters and queries, i.e., those that perform calculations, you should prepended get. All other getters have no prefix and setters have the set prefix.
class Object
{
public:
int radius() const;
void setRadius(int value);
int getPerimeter();
private:
int m_radius;
};
int Object::radius() const
{
return m_radius;
}
void Object::setRadius(int value)
{
m_radius = value;
}
int Object::getPerimeter()
{
return 2 * pi * m_radius;
}
