Property

Definitions

1. A named attribute of an object or class that stores data or computes a value. In many languages, properties use getter/setter methods behind a field-like syntax, allowing validation or side effects on access. In CSS, properties define visual styling rules.

   In plain English: A named piece of data on an object — like 'color' on a car or 'name' on a user — that you can read and sometimes write to.

   Example: "The user.name property triggers a setter that trims whitespace and validates length."
