UITableView objects are commonly used in iOS development. There help us to represent data more clearly to the user, when we have more records that we want to display in a nice way.
When we create a UITableViewController subclass in Xcode, it already contains a UITableView objects inside it. If we leave it as it is and run in the Simulator or on the device, we only get a blank table that we can scroll up and down (it doesn't contain any records because we did not tell it what data it should display and how to display that).
Tables, in general, can contain any number of rows, but only ONE column.
Each row is referred to as a CELL.
There are 2 styles for table views - Plain and Grouped. In case we want to make more sophisticated tables, we must use custom cells for them, which we will discuss in later videos.
You should check apps already made by other developers, to see when they use table view and how they resolve specific task using them. Some examples may be the Contacts and Notes apps.
