Why is Self being called to access the Class's own property?
I'm slightly confused with a certain concept. The best way to ask my question is to illustrate  it with an example. Now in the below code I declare a property called loan and I synthesize this property. Now this might seem like a nooby question but I'm assigning the value "250.00" to loan. I've seen tutorials around the web that might do "self.loan = 250.00;" VS my "loan = 250.00;" Both ways seem to accomplish the same thing. But why do people use "self.propertyName" to access a property, when using the property name itself is enough?

    //ClassA.h
    @interface ClassA: UIViewController
    @property double loan;
    @end

    //ClassA.m
    @implementation ClassA
    @synthesize loan;

    -(void)doSomething{
      loan = 250.00;
    }
