Getters are used to access the value of an object's property, while functions are used to perform a specific action or computation.

Advantages of using getters:

Encapsulation: Getters allow you to hide the implementation details of a class from the user, making it easier to modify the underlying implementation without affecting the code that uses the class.

Consistency: Getters provide a consistent interface for accessing the properties of an object, regardless of the implementation details.

Computed properties: Getters allow you to compute a value based on the state of an object, which can be useful for creating computed properties.
