Question

I wonder if someone can explain the following, are these both doing the same? As both call “setSeparatorColor” I would guess they are both calling the accessor for the property.

[myTableView setSeparatorColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];

.

[[self myTableView] setSeparatorColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];

Answer 1

Correct, they are both doing the same

[myTableView setSeparatorColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];

Is accessing the variable directly, where as

[[self myTableView] setSeparatorColor:[UIColor orangeColor]];

Is calling the accessor for the property, and then sending the setSeparatorColor message to it
