It gives you control over the access to a member
- you can read it (if there is a getter)
- you can write it (if there is a setter)
- you can apply operations on it that both read and write it
(like ++ if there is both a getter and a setter)
- you cannot get its address (use function or variable if you
want this)
- property allows you to calculate the requested value instead of
storing it somewhere. But you can't get the address of a
calculation (what should that be? The address of some temporary
storage? A pointer to the stack? A pointer to the function that
performs the calculation? But which one? The getter or the
setter? None of those makes any sense)
