/*how to change the age using set accesor
how to give a value to "value" ?? */

Answer 1

The set accessor will be invoked when we assign the property with a specific value.

For example the following statement:-

p.Age = 8;

Right-hand-side 8 will be treated as the value in this case.

In addition, the statement above will results compilation error if the setter was removed, which effectively turn the property into read-only and assignable via constructor.
