# y

> The Y coordinate of the rectangle.

## Definition

* **Type:** Property
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public float y { readonly get; set; }
```

### Remarks

This value is the same as [Rect.yMin](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/rect/ymin.md), but setting it will move the rectangle rather than resize it.

### Examples

```csharp
using UnityEngine;

public class RectExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        Rect rect = new Rect(10, 10, 50, 30);
        // prints: y = 10
        Debug.Log("y = " + rect.y);

        rect.y = 20;
        // prints: (x:10, y:20, width:50, height:30)
        Debug.Log(rect);
    }
}
```
