• dot notation is simply syntax sugar for brackets? seems yes. best practice is to only use it for properties tho. so @property (strong, nonatomic) foo; @synthesize foo=_foo; automatically generates getter foo and setting setFoo - setFoo:(int)v { self._foo = v; } - foo { return self._foo; } class.foo = 3; == [class setFoo:3]? ivar = class.foo ; == [ivar setValue = [class foo]]?
