thanks Eranga,

But what's the difference if I use any method and in its end I write return Value ?

[Eranga]

In simple word it's all about encapsulation, safety for the code from others change. You are get the input from the setter method and return the values from getter, and all the processing done on different methods. Normally those methods have higher restriction in access, private in most of the cases.
