Getters and Setters in Objective C

Doing a lot of Objective C lately, thought it worthwhile to write a few key differences with Actionscript. To begin with today – getters and setters!

Properties in Objective C are automatically given setters and getters eg:

@property (strong,nonatomic) NSString *name;

is automatically given:

the getter:

-(NSString *)name
{
	return _name;
}

the setter:

-(void)setName:(NSString *)name
{
	_name = name;
}

You can replace these in your code. If you replace both, you need to add the line:

@synthesize name = _name;
