Convert NSInteger to NSIndexpath

Question

Basically I am storing an index of an array in a NSInteger. I now need it as an NSIndexpath, I'm struggling to see and find a way to convert my NSInteger to NSIndexpath so I can reuse it.

Answer 1

For an int index:

NSIndexPath *path = [NSIndexPath indexPathWithIndex:index]; 

Creates Index of the item in node 0 to point to as per the reference.

To use the indexPath in a UITableView, the more appropriate method is

NSIndexPath *path = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:row inSection:section]; 

Answer 2

If you need a NSIndexPath for a UITableView, you can use indexPathForRow:inSection: (reference). Index paths passed to table view must contain exactly two indices specifying the section and row. An index path created with indexPathWithIndex: only contains one index and won't work with a table view.
