## Discussion

Discussion The delegate handles selections in this method. For instance, you can use this method to assign a checkmark (UITableViewCell.AccessoryType.checkmark) to one row in a section in order to create a radio-list style. The system doesn’t call this method if the rows in the table aren’t selectable. See Handling row selection in a table view for more information on controlling table row selection behavior.
