Properties

Properties are a mechanism in object-oriented programming that allow controlled access to protected and private attributes. They are defined using methods and can be accessed as if they were regular attributes. Properties provide a convenient and intuitive way to interact with an object's internal data.

Please take a look at the example below to get a general idea of how properties work, without diving too deep into the details:

1234567891011121314151617
class Person: def __init__(self, name): self._name = name @property def name(self): return self._name @name.setter def name(self, value): self._name = value # Usage: person = Person("John") print(person.name) # Access the name property person.name = "Bob" # Modify the name property print(person.name) # Access the modified name property

Please note that this example is meant to provide a basic understanding of properties and their usage. More advanced concepts and nuances will be covered in subsequent chapters.
