Make Object Properties Private(Changing object properties from outside)

Objects have their own attributes, called properties, and their own functions, called methods.

In the previous challenges, we used the this keyword to reference public properties of the current object.

We can also create private properties and private methods, which aren't accessible from outside the object.

To do this, we create the variable inside the constructor using the var keyword we're familiar with, instead of creating it as a property of this.

This is useful for when we need to store information about an object but we want to control how it is used by outside code.

For example, what if we want to store the speed our car is traveling at but we only want outside code to be able to modify it by accelerating or decelerating, so the speed changes in a controlled way?

In the editor you can see an example of a Car constructor that implements this pattern.

Now try it yourself! Modify the Bike constructor to have a private property called gear and two public methods called getGear and setGear to get and set that value.

Gear.js

var Car = function() {
  // this is a private variable
  var speed = 10;

  // these are public methods
  this.accelerate = function(change) {
    speed += change;
  };

  this.decelerate = function() {
    speed -= 5;
  };

  this.getSpeed = function() {
    return speed;
  };
};

var Bike = function() {

 var gear; //Декларируем вериебл, который будем задавать из  var myBike = new Bike();
  
  this.setGear = function(gearValue){
    
    gear = gearValue;//(gearValue) и есть то значение, которое мы будем задавать в объект в var myBike = new Bike(ТУТ)
  } ;
  
  this.getGear = function(){
    
    return gear;//Тупо функция, которая возвращает значение - gear(нефиксированное)
  };

};

var myCar = new Car();

var myBike = new Bike();
