Can someone explain . and -> in objective c? -

help me :( dont know why?

    @interface rootviewcontroller : uitableviewcontroller {         bool issearchon;      }      self->issearchon = no; ( no error)     self.issearchon = no; ( error) 

dot operator . used access property.

arrow operator -> used acces instance variable.

so use

    self->issearchon = no; // instance not  property 

you can use way skipping self->

    issearchon = no;
