Python Coding challenge - Day 864| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Code Explanation:

1. Class Definition

class Item:

A new class named Item is defined.

This class represents an object that stores a price.

2. Constructor Method

    def __init__(self, p):

        self._price = p

__init__ is the constructor—runs automatically when you create an object.

It receives a parameter p.

self._price = p saves the value into a protected attribute _price.

The underscore _ indicates “don’t access directly” (a convention for protected attributes).

3. Property Decorator

    @property

    def price(self):

        return self._price

@property converts the method price() into a read-only attribute.

Now you can access i.price without parentheses.

It returns the internal _price attribute safely.

4. Creating an Object

i = Item(200)

Creates an instance of the Item class.

The constructor sets _price = 200.

5. Accessing the Property

print(i.price)

Accessing i.price automatically calls the property method.

It returns _price, which is 200.

Output:

200

Final Output

200
