# Attributes

Learn the syntax for C# attributes and how to tag your code to convey extra behavior or metadata.

Attributes allow you to attach additional behavior to the methods and variables you create. In this video you will learn the format of attributes as well as how to use the "Range" and "ExecuteInEditMode" attributes.

    {
        transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, speed * Time.deltaTime, 0));
    }
}
```
