Where did the method setBlogPostURL come from? Does every custom class come with the set"####" method for its properties

Having trouble understanding where he got the setBlogPostURL method from. Realized it didn't autocomplete for him

I'm sure you know the answer to your question by now. But yes, by creating a property (depending on the attributes like readonly, readwrite, nonatomic, etc) Xcode will automatically generate a getter and setter method for you behind the scenes. This is assuming of course that your attributes allow this. Something like (nonatomic, strong) will always have a getter and setter method made for you.
