How can numberOfRowsInSection function of TableView return multiple values for the same section?

Question

Here, I have a TableView with one section. However, I have 2 cells. I want numberofRowsInSection to return 2 different values for different rows of the same section. But, I can't access the row in numberofRowsInSection function. Can someone please tell me how to attain this?

The solution written there is for multiple section. I am searching an answer for single section — Isha Balla, Jan 27 '16 at 10:21
can you show me an image of your storyboard and/or code so I can understand this better — Unis Barakat, Jan 27 '16 at 10:23
Please always post actual code as text, not as screenshots only. Thanks. Picture of code is not searchable, not indexable and not testable. — Eric Aya, Jan 27 '16 at 10:41
I think you are confused a bit. numberOfRowsInSection should return the number of CELLS aka rows in the section, I cannot see what do you mean by returning different number of rows for each row? Please elaborate. — ysholqamy, Jan 27 '16 at 10:46

numberOfRowsInSections should return the count of cells in that section, if you want to display two different type of cell (ex. CellType1 and CellType2), you should do logic inside

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
     cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    if (indexPath.section == 0) {
       if(indexPath.row == 0){ return CellType1; }
       if (indexPath.row == 1) { return CellType2; }
    }
}

you can't return multiple values from that method, apple has not written that method to return multiple values
