Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A mutator method is a class method that modifies an object's state, hence it changes its data values. Access methods (A) are used to retrieve the values of data or variables in a class, and get (C) and return (D) functions are generic terms that can be used for any method that retrieves data from an object. A mutator method is a nonconstructor class method that changes an object's data values. It is also known as a setter method. Access methods, also known as getter methods, return an object's data values without modifying them. Get functions and return functions are not standard programming terms.
