thats totally your wish that what name you want to give to a method , U can give it name "setName()" also , but the only thing is ... the function must be of setAge() 👍

Getters and setters? It would make no difference.

it will make no difference but using get and set as prefix in function names makes readability much easier....

You could also name it POTATO().
-> A method's name does never ever affect it's functionality! (At least in most common languages, propably there are weird ones where they do...) <-
But: Conventions. And despite it would be funny, It makes your code so hard to maintain if you swap getValue and setValue!! Don't!
