What is TableView?
TableView is the UI component used to display a large amount of data in a single column of scrolling views.
Limitation with TableView
- Presents data only in a single column
- Provides one-directional scrolling

- Create the TableView Delegate class as below:
- Create the CollectionView Datasource class as below:
- Create the CollectionViewCell and define the UI structure of the cell as shown below:
