  <p>I am a beginner here. I have just started learning iOS for the last two months and I do not have any programming background. (Little bit of Java though). Can anyone please explain what is getter and setter in Objective C? What is the use of them? Why do we use <code>@property</code> and <code>@synthesize</code>?</p>
