Parameters
tableView
A table-view object requesting the cell.

Discussion of [UITableViewDataSource tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath]
The returned UITableViewCell object is frequently one that the application reuses for performance reasons. You should fetch a previously created cell object that is marked for reuse by sending a dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: message to tableView. The identifier for a reusable cell object is assigned when the delegate initializes the cell object by calling the initWithStyle:reuseIdentifier: method of UITableViewCell. Various attributes of a table cell are set automatically based on whether the cell is a separator and on information the data source provides, such as for accessory views and editing controls.

UITableViewDataSource tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath example.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    }

    NSInteger section = [indexPath section];

    switch (section) {
        case 0: // First cell in section 1
            cell.textLabel.text = [collectionHelpTitles objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
            break;
        case 1: // Second cell in section 1
            cell.textLabel.text = [noteHelpTitles objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
            break;
        case 2: // Third cell in section 1
            cell.textLabel.text = [checklistHelpTitles objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
            break;
        case 3: // Fourth cell in section 1
            cell.textLabel.text = [photoHelpTitles objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
            break;
        default:
            // Do something else here if a cell other than 1,2,3 or 4 is requested
            break;
    }
    return cell;
}
