] | A getter has the advantage of not letting external code write in your variable (eg a pointer array can't be incremented).
Otherwise, it's functionally the same, especially if it's for your own use. | It is more a question of encapsulation. If your camera class is the only holder of these two matrices, it would be wise to make them available via getters and not with public attributes.
This will, for example, allow you to subclass your camera and create other methods for your view and projection matrices. |

Checks are not a new invention. There is evidence they existed [as early as 352 BCE](https://www.infoplease.com/business/consumer-resources/brief-history-checking), though they didn't catch on until the 1500s. With the pressure for fairy trading, checks have much more reason to catch on.
