6,876 Pointssetters and getters understanding
Hi everyone. I recently finished learning about the @property decorator which allows you to get any attribute via a method and the setter decorator or @(nameofattribute).setter which lets you set the attribute. In terms of my understanding, does the @property allow you to use dot notation and output an attribute which is the name of the method and the setter is used in order to change the value of the attribute like in the following examples bellow?
@property
def name(self):
return self.name
@name.setter
def name(self,newname):
self.name = newname
