2,201 PointsFor the Move method with void keyword (see code below), does the void keyword limit writing a property with getter
For the Move method with void keyword (see code below):
public void Move()
If we were to need to change this method to a property, would the presence of the void keyword limit the writing of a property using a getter since void doesn't return anything?

Jennifer Nordell
Treehouse TeacherHi, Ra Bha! I feel like you're mixing up the point of a property and the point of a method. The point of a method is to do something. The point of a property is to describe something about that class. For example, my first name is Jennifer. That's one of my properties. My last name is Nordell. That's another property. Now, I could have a computed property like fullName that is the combination of my first name and last name. But it's still not an action. However, signing my full name on a document would be an action involving that computed property and that should be a method.
In short, I don't believe there is a way to make Move() a property because it is not a descriptor... it's an action. Properties are like adjectives, computed properties are a bit like combining two or more adjectives, and methods are the verbs.
Hope this helps!
