How to use class variables in objective-c like "MyClassName.var"?

I want to declare static-class variables in objective-c class and want to use them directly using class name like

E.g

having a class named "Myclassname" and variable "Var"

and want access this variable like this....

Myclassname.Var=@"hi";

I dont want to use getters and setters.

Any help please?

Variables aren't accessed using the . syntax - those are getters and setters. Your only option, as @bbarnhart points out, is to manually declare class getters and setters.

@interface Myclassname

+(NSString *)var;
+(void)setVar:(NSString *)newVar;

@end

And implement these methods to access/set the backing static variable.

This isn't really a good idea, anyway, and doesn't jive with Objective-C style. You should consider using a singleton and properties, instead.

I don't see why you can't use the -> syntax like this:

Myclassname->var = @"Hi";
