Create and set properties
There are two parts to defining a property:
- first, define an "internal" attribute that will contain the data;
- then, define a
@property-decorated method whose name is the property name, and that returns the internal attribute storing the data.
If you'd also like to define a custom setter method, there's an additional step:
- define another method whose name is exactly the property name (again), and decorate it with
@prop_name.setterwhereprop_nameis the name of the property. The method should take two arguments --self(as always), and the value that's being assigned to the property.
In this exercise, you'll create a balance property for a Customer class - a better, more controlled version of the balance attribute that you worked with before.
