using System;

public class MyClass
{
    // Field for the property
    private int _myValue = 1000;

    // Public property with a private setter
    public int MyValue {
        get { return _myValue; }
        private set { _myValue = value; }
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        MyClass obj = new MyClass();
        
        //obj.MyValue = 78; // This will cause a compile-time error because the setter is private.
        Console.WriteLine(obj.MyValue); 
    }
}



/*
run:

1000

*/
