Question

I am following a tutorial of making custom table view cell with storyboard. I drag a UILabel as subview of the cell and set its tag to 1. I have two questions regarding the data source code.

1. What’s the purpose of the second dequeue statement? I know it’s an init method while not using storyboard to make the custom cell.

2. What’s the difference between tableview and self.tableview?

   -(UITableViewCell*)tableView:(UITableView*)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath
   {
       static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
       UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
       if (cell == nil) {
           cell = [self.tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
       }
       NSDictionary *dToAccess = (self.tableView==tableView)?[self.arForTable objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] : [self.arForSearch objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
       [(UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:1] setText:[dToAccess valueForKey:@"name"]];
       [(UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:2] setText:[dToAccess valueForKey:@"value"]];
       return cell;
   }
   

Answer 1

To dequeue twice is not necessary, this block of code is broken.
