Immutable Class With Private Data Members

Immutable Class has Private Data Members

To make the class immutable, data members should have a private access modifier, so that once an object is created, it cannot be modified later.

package org.wesome.dsalgo;

import java.util.Objects;

public class Apple {
    /*  immutable class must have private access modifier */
    private String name;
    /*  immutable class must have private access modifier */
    private float price;

    public Apple() {
    }

    public Apple(String name, float price) {
        super();
        this.name = name;
        this.price = price;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

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

    public float getPrice() {
        return price;
    }

    public void setPrice(float price) {
        this.price = price;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (this == o) return true;
        if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
        Apple apple = (Apple) o;
        return Float.compare(apple.price, price) == 0 && Objects.equals(name, apple.name);
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return Objects.hash(name, price);
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Apple{" + "name='" + name + '\'' + ", price=" + price + '}';
    }
}

private data members cannot be accessed out side the class, this will throw compilation error

package org.wesome.dsalgo;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

public class AppleTest {
    @Test
    public void setterMethodTest() {
        Apple apple = new Apple("Mcintosh", 1.1f);
        System.out.println(apple);
        apple.name = "Fuji";
        apple.price = 2.2f;
        System.out.println(apple);
    }
}
