Where is the description of the dot syntax? The top of the Obj-C 2.0
docs (Properties section) refers you "Dot Syntax."
It also refers to "structure elements", by which they mean a C
struct. Remember, Objective-C is built on C. With properties, as
with C structs, you use a dot to indicate descent into the property
hierarchy, such as the example they give there, myInstance.value. For
a more complicated example, consider
planet.continent.nation.region.city.
I have a property named "ep1". I need to implement accessors for it,
but they're not getting called. I've tried variations of
setEp1
setep1
setEP1
setEp1: should work. The colon is significant and is a part of the
method name.
If you have a choice, avoid using dot syntax at all.
Really? Why? Seems like Apple encourages it quite strongly, and I
frakking hate square brackets.
I would advise you to embrace and learn both the dot syntax and square
brackets.
