Abstract

Properties in C# provide the ability to protect a field by reading and writing to it through special methods called accessors. They are generally declared as public with the same data type as the field they are going to protect, followed by the name of the property and a code block that defines the get and set accessors.

class Time {   private int seconds;   public int sec   {     get { return seconds; }     set { seconds = value; }   } }
