Kotlin getters in constructor for inherit

Question

I'm trying to understand how Kotlin constructors work. I want classes to inherit the legs and name fields below so I've put them in to the primary constructor. This works.

I tried putting get in to the constructor also ... however this causes an exception.

Where should the getter go if I want it to be inherited?

open class Pet(
var legs: Int,
var name: String
get() = field.toUpperCase()
){

fun SayName(){
println("My name is ${name}")
}
}

Answer 1

you can't put getter on parameters. just put get() function on the class itself
