Treehouse TeacherHi there! Any object-oriented programming languages has properties. I know you know a bit of JavaScript so let's use an example from there for the time being.
Remember something like this from JS?
myArray = [2, 7, 4, 9];
myNumber = myArray.length;
An array is an Object in JavaScript and it has a length property. You can also create your own custom objects there (which I'm hoping you remember);
var student = {
name: "Nafis",
courses: ["JavaScript", "C#"]
}
studentName = student.name;
studentCourses = student.courses;
In this example, student is an object with 2 properties: name and courses.
Hope this helps!

I understand that every oo language has properties. Only the syntax is different, which makes it different from the other languages.

Treehouse TeacherYeah, sort of, but at the same time not really? Java and Swift can also have "getters" and "setters". There are probably others too
