Discussion
In your implementation, create and configure an appropriate cell for the given index path. Create your cell using the table view's dequeue method, which recycles or creates the cell for you. After creating the cell, update the properties of the cell with appropriate data values.
Never call this method yourself. If you want to retrieve cells from your table, call the table view's cell method instead.
