unable to dequeue a cell with identifier Cell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard

Question

I am fairly new to coding in general and really new to Xcode (Swift). I understand that I need to register a nib or a class but I don\'t understand \'where or how?\'.

There is two way you can define cell. If your table cell is inside on your ViewControllern then get the cell this way:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TableViewCell", for: indexPath) as! TableViewCell
        // write your code here 
        return cell
}

But if you define cell outside of your ViewController then call the sell this way:

 func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("TableViewCell", owner: self, options: nil)?.first as! TableViewCell
        // write your code here
        return cell
    }

And as everyone said don't forget to set your cell identifier:
