How to use an enum and switch() with UITableViewController in Swift

Question

My UITableView has two sections, so I created an enum for them:

private enum TableSections {
    HorizontalSection,
    VerticalSection
}

Answer 1

Jeff Lewis did it right, to elaborate on that and give the code litlle bit of more readiness -> my way of handling these things is to:

1. Instantiate enum with the raw value -> section index

guard let sectionType = TableSections(rawValue: section) else { return 0 }

2. Use switch with section type

switch sectionType { case .horizontalSection: return firstArray.count case .verticalSection: return secondArray.count }
