How to print an array to a view controller?

I have an array of items--how can I print them out to a screen so that the user can scroll through and read all of the items?

Thanks, I appreciate any help!

Hi Naomi!

Which language? Swift or Objective-C?

There are a number of ways to do this, but one of the best would be to use a UITableView. There's a very good introduction to the idea here: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-blog-reader-iphone-app-2/rebuilding-from-scratch/adding-a-table-view-controller-class-2

It can be a little complicated at first, but it's an incredibly valuable tool for iOS developers.
