Class variable defined at @implementation rather than @interface?
- by bitcruncher
Hello. I'm new to Objective-C, but I am curious about something that I haven't really seen addressed anywhere else.
Could anyone tell me what is the difference between a private variable that is declared at the @interface block versus a variable that is declared within the @implementation block outside of the class methods, i.e:
@interface Someclass : NSObject {
NSString *forExample;
}
@end
vs.
@implementation Someclass
NSString *anotherExample;
-(void)methodsAndSuch {}
@end
It seems both variables ( forExample, anotherExample ) are equally accessible throughout the class and I can't really find a difference in their behaviour. Is the second form also called an instance variable?
