Difference beetween _ and self. in Objective-C

Should I use self.tableView or just tableView by itself.

In my code I’ve noticed that both

[self.view addSubview:self.tableView];

and

[self.view addSubview:tableView];

both work. My tableView was added with IB and the delegate and datasource and outlet was set.

thanks

If you are declaring your table and not making its property like

IBOutlet UITableView *table;  

then you can access you tableView

[self.view addSubView:tableView];

And If you are setting its getter and setter property then you can call using self.table

@property(nonatomic,retain)IBOutlet UITableView *table;  

Then you can access it by

 [self.view addSubView:self.table];
