What is data source in iPhone?

In this blog I will explain functionality of data source using table view.

The datasource is an object that implements the required datasource protocol that is needed to create a complex control.

Ex UITableView is a view that needs a datasource object to which will help building the table. Often it's the controller that is displaying the table view. The protocol that dataSource object ( mostly controller it self) has to implement is “UITableViewDataSource” .
