Introduction

Hello,

Property is added to define the properties of an object.

In order to add a property to an object in Swift, the variable or constant definition must be added to the type definition.

const

Properties are not limited to class definitions in Swift. Enumerations and structures can also have property declarations.

class Person {
    var name: String = "Name"
    var age:Int = 0

    func profile() -> String {
        return "I'm \(self.name) and I'm \(self.age) years old."
    }
}


var p = Person()

p.name = "Coddy"
p.age = 10

print("p.name = \(p.name)")
print("p.age = \(p.age)")

getter setter

You can have code properties that have a getter and setter.

defining getter and setter

The following example is made for Defining Getter and Setter for Stored Properties.

class Person {
    var name: String = "Name"
    var age:Int = 10
    private var _lastName:String = ""

   //you coded a getter and setter that returned the private variable _lastName. 
   //You are using _lastName as the local storage here.
    var lastName:String{
    get {
        return _lastName
    }
    set {
        _lastName = newValue
    }
    }

    func profile() -> String {
        return "I'm \(self.name) and I'm \(self.age) years old."
    }

}

var p = Person()

p.name = "Coddy"

print(p.profile())
