Why do we need to specify Indexpath.row in Obj-c?

seems pretty repetitive, what is the difference between that and regular indexpath?

PFUser *user = [self.allUsers objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

In tableviews we can have rows and sections. In the case of the app we have learned here we just have one section and a lot of rows represented as users in parse.com

indexPath (an instance of NSIndexPath) has two properties called row and section. As we need to know which user has been pushed in table view we have to specify the row. Maybe in the future when you have more users and you want to organize them by sections you will require the "section" property of indexPath instead.

Hope that helps
