Newb question. I am just begining to use C#

Sometimes it makes sense to encapsulate data by making the main state of an object hidden, but accessible through properties. For example, suppose I wanted to represent a person with a name (string) and age (int). I might write:

public class Person
{
    //Declare private variables; accessible only within this class
    private string name;
    private int age;

    //Constructor
    public Person(string newName, int newAge)
    {
        this.name = newName;
        this.age = newAge;
    }

    //Properties

    //Other classes can both get and set a Person's name
    public string Name
    {
        //Defines a getter method; always named get
        get { return this.name; }

        /*Define a setter method; always named set
         *The setter method will accept an argument (in this case a string)
         * that will be stored in a reserved variable (keyword) called value
        set { this.name = value; }
    }

    //But let's only let them get (NOT modify) age
    public int Age
    {
        //Define the getter
        get { return this.name; }

        //But omit the setter
    }
}

Make sense?
