What's the difference between @property and @synthesize?

Question

Like I understand, @synthesize actually is generating the Getters and Setters. But what\'s @property then doing? Is it just setting up the parameters for that cool @synthesi

Answer 1

@property declares the name as a property. This means, it will be accessible via the dot syntax (object.value).

@synthetize can be seen as a macro, that creates the getter and setter methods. It is useful to know that you can override those methods, even if you type have the @synthetize in place.
