I am currently learning objective c and cocoa I believe I understand the difference between properties and instance variables, and the effect of using properties as opposed to instance variables viz a viz KVO and memory management.
What I can't understand is why you would access instance variables directly within a class. My quess is speed. Is there any other reason? And related to this, why give instance variables a name different to the name of the property. Again, I suspect it may be a matter of style, but would like to know if there are cases where it is a necessity. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
