title: public void set in Java; What is it exactly?
body: <p>What does <code>public void set</code> in Java, do? I've read that it 'Sets the value of a named option' so is it simply like a variable assignment in the form of a function or something? (Sorry, not really a Java programmer.)</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code I'm analyzing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void set(String s, int value) {
    set(s, new Integer(value));
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What's inside it anyway? (the <code>set(s,new Integer(value)</code>) I'm thinking the two 'sets' are entirely different things.</p>
  
  <p>Please Help. Sorry if this is a simple question, but I'm just trying to confirm my thoughts about the subject.</p>
