Question

C# properties (I mean get and set methods) are a very useful feature. Does java have something similar to C# properties too? I mean how we can implement something like the following C# code in java:

public string Name
{
    get
    {
        return name;
    }

    set
    {
        name = value;
    }
}

No, Java does not have the equivalence. It only has accessor and mutator methods, fancy names for getter and setter methods. For example:

public class User {
    private String name;

    public String getName() { return this.name; }
    public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; }
}
