How to get UITableViewCell object from indexPath in Swift?

I'm trying to get UITableViewCell object programmatically using Swift, so I wrote this code:

let cell:UITableViewCell = (UITableViewCell) UITableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath.row)

but getting compile error as:

Cannot convert value of type '(UITableViewCell).Type' to specified type 'UITableViewCell'
Consecutive statements on a line must be separated by ';'
Instance member 'cellForRowAtIndexPath' cannot be used on type 'UITableView'; did you mean to use a value of this type instead?

To prevent it from getting crashed use if let condition as follows...

 if let cell = myTableView.cellForRow(at: IndexPath(row: index, section: 0)) as? MyTableCell {
         // do stuff here
     cell.updateValues(someValues)
 }

also can fetch headerView as follows...

if let headerView = myTableView.headerView(forSection: 0) as? MyHeaderView {
//do something
}

Swift 5 Easy solution 

//MARK:- Collection View
let cell = yourcollectionview.cellForItem(at: indexPath) as! YourCollectionViewCell

Table View

let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath) as! YourTableViewCell

Usage

let tempImage = cell.yourImageView.image!

First get row number where you want to go then call below code. 

let indexPath = IndexPath(row: rowNumber, section: 0)
let tableViewCell = YourTableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)

You can use this for Swift 4

let indexPath = IndexPath(row: 0, section: 0)
let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)

cellForRowAtIndexPath is not a class method. Use the instance method instead. 

let cell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)

Swift 3:

let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath)
