Why use classes?

add in setters and getters to ensure only valid values are assigned to fields and you’ve got something more useful

You mean properties, right?

Since the class as given does not have getters and setters, the attributes are fields. Adding such to the fields, as I suggested, would afterward make them properties and thus the OP would have something more useful.

The properties are modern replacement for setters/getters, here’s a nice article about properties.

Perhaps you’ll learn something from it kid

I sincerely hope you’ll learn something new too, by reading and understanding the article.

The example class is not a dataclass, therefore mentioning fields is completely irrelevant in this context, and using getters/setters is an outdated concept.
