properties are your class members like private int age; private name; Methods are used for getting and setting private field values

ill try, Public String name; < this is called a field. Private int age; < this is also a field but has controlled access thorough using get and set. As your having to access the private field via a method this method is called the property which has the get and set inside the methods body.

let's understand with practical example take class Human class Human { // first we declare property of human Int NoOfEar; int NoOfHand; int NoOfFingure; // now declare method of human Void Eat() void Sleep () void Walk () } so this the concept of property and methods.
