get

The get keyword declares a property getter accessor. It defines the code that runs when a computed property is read, allowing field-like access syntax backed by a method.

Syntax & Example​

struct Circle {
    radius: f64,

    get area() -> f64 {
        return 3.14159 * self.radius * self.radius;
    }
}

let c = Circle { radius: 2.0 };
print(c.area); // accessed like a field

Use Cases​

  • Exposing computed values with field-like read syntax.
  • Deriving properties from underlying state without storing them.
  • Pairing with set to form a full read/write property.
