What is the difference between the code: [[self label] setText:@Hello]; [label setText:@Hello]; Is it

What is the difference between the code:

[[self label] setText:@"Hello"];
[label setText:@"Hello"];

Is it correct that they are basically the same if I call them from inside the class?
So if I call it from another class it will be:

[[someclass label] setText:@"Hello"];
someclass.label.text = @"Hello";

Is this correct? This self is disorientating me.

    self is a pointer to the object that’s had the method called on it.

    [label setText:] would presumably access the instance variable directly. The other ways all go through the accessor method.
