Hey you coders

[prog]

These questions aren't language-specific; consider the questions as pseudocode. Pretend that the underscores are actually studlyCaps if you'd like.

Also, don't worry about return values of the mutators, which is a separate question.

I'm somewhat new to object-oriented languages like this (I grew up with super old-skool BASIC and FORTRAN knowledge). I prefer the separate but more readable methods set_foo and get_foo (or setFoo and getFoo .. whatever).

I'd say 'overloading is overrated' but there are times when it's really handy. I'll just say 'overloading is easily abused'.
