Re: What is the matching mutator method?
A mutator method is a method that changes a variable inside a class (generally private or protected variables). While technically mutators can change the variables in any way, in general I believe this type of question is refering to a specific type of mutator called a "setter". Setters are exactly like what their name states: the set the value of a variable.
public void setEmployeeName(String newName) { this.employeeName = newName; }
