I have reviewed the video about a million times but I don't understand the question at the end of this section. A(n)_______ associated with the table view stores information to locate sections and rows within a table view.
I have looked at the transcript and I don't get the answer. This was a very confusing challenge.

Sorry for the confusion!

19,588 PointsThank you for that. Maybe a an alternative way would be : "In a TableView a _________ stores information to locate sections and rows within a table view. Enjoying the course. Its tough but feel that I am getting somewhere.

Anyway, found the question confusing, too.

I am yet trying "In a table view, rows are defined as part of a ..." without success.

Treehouse Guest TeacherIf you check out the video I linked above, you'll see that we use the term indexPath extensively. I'd suggest watching that to help clear things up.

19,588 PointsSorry that does not help me. I do understand TableViews but this question is very confusing and the video does not help.

Treehouse Guest TeacherWell, I hate to give the answer away, but what you are looking for is the "index path". The index path has information about the row and section of each cell.
If you watch the video above, you'll find some discussion of that topic. But yes, I agree the question could be rephrased. Thanks for the feedback!

Courses Plus Student 3,193 PointsI agree the wording could be corrected. I put "NSIndexPath" as the answer, because that seemed correct to me based on the question. Turns out I thinking of the right thing, but not in the way they wanted it said.
