Difference between push and modal segues

Question

I just can't figure it out how to use a segue in my storyboard. When should I use a push segue and when a modal segue? How are they different from each other?

Answer 1

You use a push segue if you want to push from one view controller to another when in the context of a navigation controller.

You can use a modal seque to present one view controller on another. This is normally done from animating from the bottom to top of then screen. This can be done from inside, or not inside, a navigation controller.
