What is the difference between an attribute and a property?

Answer 1

From courses:
"parameter is a named enntity in a function(or method) definition that specifies an argument that the function can accept"
"Instance of a class have attributes, which are pieces of data associated with them"
and example:
class Dog:
def __init__(self, name, color):
self.name = name
self.color = color

def bark(self):
print("Woof!")

fido = Dog("Fido", "brown")
print(fido.name)
fido.bark()

in this example you created object fido (it's parameter for class Dog, and if you want call method of this class you use "fido" - for example fido.bark) class Dog with two attributes - name and color.

Another word, "self." it's parameter "name", "color" it's attribute.

Answer 2

It seems properties are a special kind of attribute

Answer 3

@Marek, thanks, but I didn't ask about parameters, I asked about properties, which I don't think are the same thing.

Answer 4

I think that attribute is the same property.
attribute or property are instamce of a class
example class car {
var color:string // attribute or property color
var type:int // attribute or property type
}

Answer 5

attributes can be changed but property is not change.
