Hi Everyone 🙂

Does anyone use this kind of syntax for creating the setter and getter for their custom classes?

public function get foo():dataType {  
return \_foo;  
}  
public function set foo(value:dataType):Void {

}

Does the above syntax have any advantages over the bottom one?  
I find the top one quite confusing (esp. with the extra space).

public function getFoo():dataType {  
return \_foo;  
}  
public function setFoo(value:dataType):Void {

}

Thanks in advance :sure:
