Properties

• A property is a member of a class, used to write the data in the data field and read the data from the data field of a class
• A property can never store the data, just used to transfer the data
• Properties are members that provide a flexible mechanism to read, write, or compute the implementation or verification code
• To perform read and write operations, property can contain two assessors / methods
• Properties provide the convenience of public data members without the risks that come with unprotected, uncontrolled, and unverified access to an object’s data
• This is accomplished through accessors : special methods that assign and retrieve values from the underlying data member

Accessors within the property

Accessors enable data to be accessed easily while still providing the safety and flexibility of methods

1) Set Accessor        2) Get Accessor

1)set Accessor

Set Accessor is used to write the data into the data field

This will contain a default and fixed variable named as “value”

Whenever we call the property to write the data, any data we supply will come and store in value variable by default

Syntax :-

set

{

            Data Filed Name=value;

}

2)get Accessor

Get Accessor is used to read the data from the data field, using this accessor we can’t write the data

Syntax :-

get

{

          return Data Field Name;

}
