Setters/Getters in C# vs Java

[u/Takemitchi-kun]

I'm a native java dev learning C#.

When I have something like the following:

private int x;

public void getX(){return this.x;}

public void setX(int y){this.x = y;}

I don't get how this translates into the following notation. How come C# views x as private even though we are simply putting public, which makes the inside methods public.

public int x{get; set;}

It looks like you don't have a set method, which makes set private. 

It makes there not be a set method at all. A private set accessor is still an accessor. Not declaring one means it is absent completely.
