Why NSIndexPath length always show 2?

Question

I have created a NSIndexPath object but when I print the value of its length property it will always show the value as 2.

 NSIndexPath *index = [NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:0 inSection:4];

{length = 2, path = 4 - 0}

Why length is always 2?

Answer 1

Because the index path is made of two indexes - the section and the item number.

Answer 2

basically NSIndexPath is combination of Section and Row, so it will show length as 2.
