What's Next

In this chapter you studied another member of a class: properties. You have seen what they are and how to implement and use regular and parameterized properties. You learned how to code read-only, write-only, and calculated properties. You also learned about the important OO principle of encapsulation.

Next you will study the class methods. You will learn what methods are and how to declare and use them. You will learn more about overloading methods in general (not only class constructors). You will also learn about method parameters and in general how to use methods to implement class behavior.
