How to declare instance variables and methods not visible or usable outside of the class instance?

Question

I\'ve looked through a bunch of posts on this subject. Maybe I didn\'t run across \"the one\" and someone will point me in that direction. The question is simple and proba

Answer 1

You can use @private to specify that ivars are private. There is no way to make a method private, however. Even if the method is not listed in the header file, if someone knows the name and arguments they can call it.
