Chapter 1: What's New in Swift 3

[iavor]

I recently started reading iOS 10 by Tutorials and I wanted to ask some questions about the content.

Under the topic “The Grand Renaming”, why is the Swift 3 version of the method call to get a specific cell from a table view written as follows:

I looked up the method header and the “at” is written as an argument label and not as part of the method name:

My other question is about the following part of the same topic:

What is meant by “Allowing the ‘index path’ to be removed from the parameter name”? According to the method header above, indexPath is still a parameter name. Is this supposed to read “Allowing the ‘index path’ to be removed from the method name”?

cellForRow(at:)

is definitely the current version of the function. Going from Swift 2.x to Swift 3 breaks some additional things but they are mostly an easy fix.

With regard to your second question I think Swift 3 achieves that aim:

cellForRow(at: indexPath)

where indexPath is the variable.
