How to use accessors within the same class in Objective C?
- by Azeworai
Hi, I have a few properties defined in my header file like so
@property (assign) bool connectivity_N;
@property (assign) bool isConnected_N;
In my implementation file I have an init and the synthesized properties like so
@implementation Map
@synthesize connectivity_N;
@synthesize isConnected_N;
a init to set the initial values like so
-(id) init
{
if( (self=[super init]) )
{
//initialise default properties
self.connectivity_N=NO;
self.isConnected_N=NO;
}
return self;
}
I'm running into an error that states Error: accessing unknown 'connectivity_N' class method. In this public method within the class
+(bool) isConnectable:(directions) theDirection{
bool isTheDirectionConnectable= NO;
switch (theDirection) {
case north:
isTheDirectionConnectable= self.connectivity_N;
break;
I'm not sure why is this so as I'm trying to grab the value of the property. According to the apple developer documentation "The default names for the getter and setter methods associated with a property are propertyName and setPropertyName: respectively—for example, given a property “foo”, the accessors would be foo and setFoo:"
That has given me a clue that I've done something wrong here, I'm fairly new to objective C so would appreciate anyone who spends the time to explain this to me.
Thanks!
