Can anyone explain what this line of code does ?

id <NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo> sectionInfo = [self.fetchedResultsController sections][section];

Thanks in advance.. I have never seen the [section] code at the end (and the part I find most difficult). Any help would be greatly appreciated.. thanks everyone

You can also right it as:

self.fetchedResultsController.sections[section]

Got most of it by fiddling around .. [self.fetchedResultsController sections][section] is the same as [[self.fetchedResultsController sections] objectAtIndex:section]
