Editing Mutator method (section)

===D===
[[D (programming language)|D]] supports a getter and setter function syntax. In version 2 of the language getter and setter class/struct methods should have the <code>@property</code> attribute.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://dlang.org/function.html |title=Functions - D Programming Language |accessdate=2013-01-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://dlang.org/dstyle.html |title=The D Style |accessdate=2013-02-01}}</ref>
<syntaxhighlight lang="d">
class Student {
    private char[] name_;
    // Getter
    @property char[] name() {
        return this.name_;
    }
    // Setter
    @property char[] name(char[] name_in) {
        return this.name_ = name_in;
    }
}
</syntaxhighlight>
A <code>Student</code> instance can be used like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="d">
auto student = new Student;
student.name = "David";           // same effect as student.name("David")
auto student_name = student.name; // same effect as student.name()
</syntaxhighlight>
