How do you stop a negative balance?
Short answer. Make the field private and check the value inside the setter.
What does a getter do?
It returns the value so others can read it.
Remember
| Data private |
| Getter reads, setter checks |
Can anyone set your balance to minus fifty? Not with this. Bal is private. The getter reads it. The setter changes it only if the amount is not negative. Keep data private. Getters read, setters check.
