# setTitle(_:forSegmentAt:)

Sets the title of a segment.

```
func setTitle(_ title: String?, forSegmentAt segment: Int)
```

## Parameters

`title`

A string to display in the segment as its title.

`segment`

An index number identifying a segment in the control. It must be a number between 0 and the number of segments ([`numberOfSegments`](/documentation/UIKit/UISegmentedControl/numberOfSegments)) minus 1; the segmented control pins values exceeding this upper range to the last segment.

## Discussion

A segment can have only an image or a title; it can’t have both. There’s no default title.
