-To create a property, you define a method and place the `@property` decorator above it. This tells Python to treat the method as a property.
+In Python, a decorator is a function that modifies the functionalities of other functions, or classes, without changing their original code.

+While it is possible to create custom decorators, this is beyond the scope of this lesson. Just know that to create a property, you define a method and place the `@property` decorator above it. This turns the method into a property, so it can be accessed like an attribute while internally calling the decorated method.
 
 That takes us to getters. Here's how to create one with the `@property` decorator:
