What is the difference between @property and a normal method?

1 Answers

Answer:

@property lets you access a method like an attribute.
Useful for computed values, immutability, and encapsulation.

class Circle:
    def __init__(self, r):
        self._r = r

    @property
    def area(self):
        return 3.14 * self._r**2

c = Circle(5)
print(c.area)  # acts like attribute, not method

Output

78.5
