<p>In a nutshell, computed properties let you declare functions as properties. You create one by defining a computed property as a function, which Ember will automatically call when you ask for the property. You can then use it the same way you would any normal, static property.</p>
<p>It's super handy for taking one or more normal properties and transforming or manipulating their data to create a new value. </p>
