property
A property is a symbol associated with an
Object than can be either read or written.
Each property has a datatype.
Some
Object properties are read-only.
A property whose name begins with an underscore is automatically hidden by the IDE.
A property is always public.
A property is slower to access than a
Variable, as reading or writing are done by a function and not a direct memory access.
But it provides you full access control.
