access those instance variables using
4,718.48
3.88
this familiar dot notation that's how we
4,720.52
3.679
began the story of classes just setting
4,722.36
3.839
these attributes ourselves but you can
4,724.199
4.241
also read these attributes themselves
4,726.199
4.841
and change them later if you want and
4,728.44
5.719
this will effectively circumvent the if
4,731.04
4.72
condition and the other if condition in
4,734.159
4.201
our init method because that is only
4,735.76
5.6
called when you first create the student
4,738.36
5.12
object there's nothing stopping me at
4,741.36
5.24
the moment from just changing the house
4,743.48
6.4
or the name after so if I now clear my
4,746.6
4.88
terminal window and run python of
4,749.88
4.12
studenty I'll still type in Harry and
4,751.48
4.679
Gryffindor to meet my requirements that
4,754
4.08
the house be one of those four but when
4,756.159
3.961
it's printed notice I've still
4,758.08
4.92
overridden it so it seems that while
4,760.12
4.64
classes do allow us a little more
4,763
4.28
control over the data we're storing it
4,764.76
5.32
doesn't necessarily prevent the user be
4,767.28
5.12
it or rather the programmer be it myself
4,770.08
4.32
or maybe a colleague from still kind of
4,772.4
4.799
messing things up so here too in the
4,774.4
4.56
spirit of programming a little more
4,777.199
3.801
defensively allow me to introduce
4,778.96
6.16
another feature of python as well namely
4,781
7.32
properties so a property is really just
4,785.12
5.92
an attribute that has even more defense
4,788.32
4.56
mechanisms put into place a little
4,791.04
4.32
little more functionality implemented by
4,792.88
5.359
you to prevent programmers like me and
4,795.36
4.92
you from messing things up like these
4,798.239
4.161
attributes so again a property is going
4,800.28
3.919
to be an attribute that you and I just
4,802.4
4.72
have more control over how we just write
4,804.199
4.761
a little more code using some python
4,807.12
3.76
conventions and how we're going to do
4,808.96
4.679
that is going to use in just a moment a
4,810.88
5.64
feature a keyword known as app property
4,813.639
4.761
which is technically a function property
4,816.52
3.76
is a function in Python but we're about
4,818.4
4.799
to see some new at syntax that allows
4,820.28
4.8
you to decorate functions and this too
4,823.199
4.081
is a term of Art in the world of python
4,825.08
4.48
you can have decorators which are
4,827.28
4.72
functions that modify the behavior of
4,829.56
4.28
other functions if you will and we'll
4,832
3.84
leave it at that without going too much
4,833.84
3.76
into the weeds and we'll see by example
4,835.84
3.319
how you can use these decorator
4,837.6
4
specifically to define properties so let
4,839.159
5.04
me go back to vs code here and let me
4,841.6
5.76
propose that I do this I'm going to go
4,844.199
7.96
ahead and create how about a property
4,847.36
9.16
called how house as follows inside of my
4,852.159
7.04
uh student class I'm going to go ahead
4,856.52
4.6
and below my init method and below my
4,859.199
4.081
stir method I'm going to go ahead and
4,861.12
5.039
Define a function called house that
4,863.28
5.16
takes as it always must one argument at
4,866.159
4.56
least called self and what I'm going to
4,868.44
7.239
do now is return uh self. house so I'm
4,870.719
6.761
just going to define a method called
4,875.679
4.801
House whose sole purpose in life is to
4,877.48
5.88
return the value of house
4,880.48
4.96
but I'm going to Define one other method
4,883.36
4.319
curiously also called house but that's
4,885.44
5.32
going to take into as arguments two
4,887.679
6.641
value self as always and also a value
4,890.76
6.12
called house and I'm going to now do
4,894.32
6.04
this uh I'm going to say self rather I'm
4,896.88
7.319
going to do self. house equals house now
4,900.36
5.24
what have I done well let me just
4,904.199
3.601
temporarily add some comments here in a
4,905.6
3.8
moment we're going to start referring to
4,907.8
4.04
this generally as a getter and down here
4,909.4
3.88
I'm going to refer to to this as a
4,911.84
3.24
Setter and this is terminology you
4,913.28
3.399
frequently see in the world of java if
4,915.08
3
some of you have programmed in Java
4,916.679
4.201
before but as the names imply a getter
4,918.08
6.24
is a function for a class that gets some
4,920.88
6.96
attribute a Setter is a function in some
4,924.32
6.6
class that sets some value and now even
4,927.84
4.76
though we're not done and there's a bit
4,930.92
3.52
of a mistake in the code I've already
4,932.6
4
written intuitively what we're going to
4,934.44
4.759
do is this we're trying to prevent
4,936.6
4.68
programmers myself included from
4,939.199
4.201
circumventing my error checking that I
4,941.28
4.68
put into place for name and house how
4,943.4
4.279
can I do that well we don't have that
4,945.96
3.6
many building blocks in programming we
4,947.679
3.921
have things like variables for data and
4,949.56
4.24
we have functions for actions well why
4,951.6
5.039
don't we do this why don't we somehow
4,953.8
5.439
require that in order to access an
4,956.639
4.801
attribute you go through some function
4,959.239
4.361
