dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: Returns a reusable table-view cell object located by its identifier.

  • (UITableViewCell *)dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier

Parameters identifier A string identifying the cell object to be reused. By default, a reusable cell's identifier is its class name, but you can change it to any arbitrary value.

Ok so if by default it's the class name, why should I put much brain force into thinking about an identifier? Could I provide just nil? Would it then use the class name? Or what did they try to say here? Must I make an NSString with the class name by myself and provide it as identifier?
