indexPathForRow3

indexPathForRow3 is a conceptual identifier used within certain programming contexts, particularly in user interface development frameworks like Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. It represents a specific location within a data structure, typically a list or a table. The name itself suggests a three-part structure: an 'indexPath' indicating a path to a specific item, and 'Row3' signifying the third row in a section.

More generally, an index path is a data structure used to uniquely identify an item in a hierarchical collection. For example, in a table view or collection view, an index path often consists of two components: a section index and an item (or row) index within that section. Therefore, indexPathForRow3 would be a specific instance of this path, pointing to an item located at the third row or index 3 within a particular section.

The exact implementation and usage of index paths can vary depending on the specific framework. However, the fundamental purpose remains the same: to provide a clear and unambiguous way to reference individual elements within structured data. This is crucial for operations such as selecting, deleting, inserting, or updating items in a user interface. Developers use index paths to manage data and ensure that user interactions correspond to the correct data elements.
