Answer 1

 

Hi,

In property we can put some validations or can do any operation on the field before set or get of value, but in case of member variable it is not there.

Thanks

Answer 2

Hi Janets,

In property we can validate the input values before assigning to variable.

For example,

    The property named Age can be check, the given value is between 0 and 120.

if not we can throw an exception.

we can also create Readonly and Writeonly property.

Thank You

Point of difference	Variable	Property
Declaration	Single declaration statement	Series of statements in a code block
Implementation	Single storage location	Executable code (property procedures)
Storage	Directly associated with variable's value	Typically has internal storage not available outside the property's containing class or module Property's value might or might not exist as a stored element
Executable code	None	Must have at least one procedure
Read and write access	Read/write or read-only	Read/write, read-only, or write-only
Custom actions (in addition to accepting or returning value)	Not possible	Can be performed as part of setting or retrieving property value
