Hello, could you please help me understand this code?

I Have just started with getters and setters in Java

And the code feels a little heavy. I am doing my best to understand it but I feel a little lost.

I understand that setmethods modifies the current value while get methods returns the current value.

But what my teacher has tried here is a little complex for me to understand.

public class Circle {
private double radius;
private Point position;

public Circle( double inRadius, Point inPosition ) {
this.radius = inRadius;
this.position = inPosition;
}

public void setPosition( Point inPosition ) {
this.position = inPosition;
}

public double getRadius() {
return this.radius;
}

public Point getPosition() {
return this.position;
}

public int getX() {
return this.position.getX();
}

public int getY() {
return this.position.getY();
}

public String toString() {
return "CIRCLE, radius = " + this.radius + ", position = " + position.toString();
}
}

This seems to be a very straight forward piece of code that creates an object “circle” with properties “radius” and “position”.

Not sure the syntax is all correct but it is quite understandable in it’s structure.

What is it you don’t understand?

It’s not clear that What and/or which part of the code you don’t understand ?

Asking Better Questions Best Practices & General IT

Over the years of reading questions on SpiceWorks, I’ve come to the conclusion that there are a few simple ways that nearly all of us could get better answers, better advice, more information by changing how we ask questions. Here are some tips that I’ve learned (this is not about break/fix questions but about guidance questions…) Always give the business background. No IT choice is made outside of a business context, so provide us with the drives on the decision. Need product type X? Do you …
