# numberOfRows

The number of rows in the table.

```
var numberOfRows: Int { get }
```

## Discussion

Typically you should not ask the table view how many rows it has; instead, interrogate the table view’s data source.

## See Also

[`numberOfRows(in:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSTableViewDataSource/numberOfRows(in:))

Returns the number of records managed for `aTableView` by the data source object.
