Paste it as text if you want people to see it. Use "Improve Question".

I am concerned why you are unable to do a search on the internet, or pick up a book, and read the documentation. Do you think you can learn to program this way ?

Please stop referencing images. Your content is purely textual. Why would you make it so inconvenient for the readers?
Now, we usually don't answer questions of the kind "help me to understand the code". First of all, this is counter-productive. You really need to ask questions. The requests for "explanation" are even formally incorrect, because it's not specified what is unclear, your background and level of education is unknown, and so on.

Besides, it is generally counter-productive to ask any questions here before you simply read some language, platform and programming book or manual, all of it, from the beginning to the end. Only then asking questions will makes some sense. All questions are based on some knowledge. When you attend a lecture, the lecturer ask audience to ask question not before the lecture, only after it, right (not counting the call "any questions on the previous lecture?", of course). But why do you ask before, not after?

For example, if "get" and "set" mean getter and setter methods, why not reading a paragraph on properties first. If you "don't know what keyword", it simply means that you did not read this section. But then asking a question is too early.

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

It is simply a property declaration using the auto-property syntax. Check the link for more info about it.

Auto-Implemented Properties (C# Programming Guide)[^]

Good luck!

Good answer, but nothing OP couldn't find himself. 5ed, but I wouldn't encourage those not bothering to search first.

5 again, because I remember what it felt like to not even knowing what question to ask.
