Custom Getter & Setter iOS 5

Question

I want to override the getter and setter in my ObjC class using ARC.

.h File

@property (retain, nonatomic) Season *season;

.m File

Answer 1

If you are going to implement your own getter and setter, you'll need to maintain an internal variable:

@synthesize season = _season;

- (void)setSeason:(Season *)s {
    // set _season
    //Note, if you want to retain (as opposed to assign or copy), it should look someting like this
    //[_season release];
    //_season = [s retain];
}

- (Season *)season {
    // return _season
}
