Answer 1

Create a struct for model data with a Bool property. You can modify this property by cell selection.

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {

  var allCharacters:[Character] = []

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
        allCharacters = [Character(name: "All"),Character(name: "Luke Skywalker"),Character(name: "Leia Organa"),Character(name: "Advik Shah"),Character(name: "Aarav Modi")]

  }
  func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return allCharacters.count
  }
    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    var cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell")
    if cell == nil{
      cell = UITableViewCell(style: .subtitle, reuseIdentifier: "Cell")
    }
      cell?.textLabel?.text = allCharacters[indexPath.row].name
      if allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected
      {
        cell?.accessoryType = .checkmark
      }
      else
      {
        cell?.accessoryType = .none
      }
      cell?.selectionStyle = .none
    return cell!
  }
  func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if indexPath.row == 0
    {
      allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected = !allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected
      for index in allCharacters.indices
      {
        allCharacters[index].isSelected = allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected
      }
    }
    else
    {
      allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected = !allCharacters[indexPath.row].isSelected
      if allCharacters.dropFirst().filter({ $0.isSelected }).count == allCharacters.dropFirst().count
      {
        allCharacters[0].isSelected = true
      }
      else
      {
        allCharacters[0].isSelected = false
      }
    }
    tableView.reloadData()
  }




}

struct Character
{
  var name:String
  //  var otherDetails
  var isSelected:Bool! = false
  init(name:String) {
    self.name = name
  }
}

Creating Array of Struct objects from array of dictionary

let SubjectArray = json["students"] as! [[String:Any]]
allCharacters = SubjectArray.map({ Character(name: $0["studentName"] as! String) })
allCharacters.insert(Character(name:"All"), at: 0)
