variable and function with same name

Suppose I have a private boolean variable named isCool.

What should the setter and getter functions for this variable be called? setIsCool()? getIsCool() is not as nice sounding as simply isCool().

I would make the variable public, but how do I know with absolute certainty that I won't need to do some additional stuff every time before setting or getting, which would want a function to handle that without breaking the interface.

no Exceptions

Are you saying setIsCool() and getIsCool() should be used?

Even if the question is simple, is it cool to post cryptic two-word answers in a sage?

Stop using getters and setters.

is_cool = property(_get_is_cool, _set_is_cool)

Idiot.

Figured this one out: since I'm using C# I can just define properties that set and get member variables. Clean and smart.

as in:
private bool isCool;

public bool IsCool
{
   get
   {
      return isCool;
   }
   set
   {
      isCool = value;
   }
}

Then you can just go MyClass.isCool = true;
or if (MyClass.isCool)

Definitely a nice thing to include in that language for a number of other reasons too.

You wouldn't know ``clean and smart'' if it punched you in the anus.

But is it the same person trolling?

I liked this troll.
Novice, but effective.
C#, oh my.
