Property observers

Property observers are used to respond to change in a property's value. Property observers are called every time a property's value is set, even if the new value is the same as the property's current value. We have the option to define either or both of the following observers on a property:

• The willSet observer is called just before the value is stored
• The didSet observer is called immediately after the new value is stored

The willSet and didSet observers are not called when a property is set in an initializer before delegation takes place.
