Properties
The properties provide a way to customize access to the attributes of the instance. To create them, you use the @property decorator put before the method. Their purpose is to define read-only attributes (they can not be modified).
class Pizza:
def __init__(self, toppings):
self.toppings = toppings
@property
def pineapple_allowed(self):
return False
pizza = Pizza(["cheese","tomato"])
print(pizza.pineapple_allowed)
pizza.pineapple_allowed = True Properties can also be set to define getter/setter functions. The setter function sets the value of the corresponding property. The getter function obtains its value
To define a setter, you need to use a decorator with the same name as the property, followed by a dot and the setter clause. The same rule applies to getter.
