Is the get keyword only used when creating dynamically changes methods within an object? Kinda confused about "get"

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 14,538 PointsGot it. How about order-wise? I am noticing get comes before set in many cases.... does it matter which one you invoke first?

And if this question has been answered, you can mark it solved by choosing a "best answer'.
Happy coding!
