Whats the difference between fields and properties?

Question

Hi all,
As title says, whats the difference between fields and properties?
Are properties the getters and setters of a variable?
And is a field the same as a variable?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You're right: fields are variables, and properties are the getters and setters of a variable (or more specifically, a data member accessed by the means of an accessor).
