Hi. Cocoa idioms dictate setFoo: and foo: for setters and getters.
Occasionally, the prefix "get" appears in a Cocoa method, like this
one:
- (void)getObjects:(id *)objects andKeys:(id *)keys
When a method is prefixed with get in Cocoa, what is being expressed?
From the guidelines discussed here <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CodingGuidelines/Articles/NamingMethods.html
>:
Use “get” only for methods that return objects and values
indirectly. You should use this form for methods only when multiple
items need to be returned.
