How to add items to UITableView using Swift?

i have been busting my brain trying to figure out how this works, but i can't seem to get it. i have tried using other tutorials, but with the many beta releases, everything keeps changing. i am fairly new to IOS development, so i'm kind of struggling.

in storyboard i have UITableView, which contains a cell with the identifier "myCell".

here's what i have so far. when i run the IOS simulator, nothing is presented on the table view.

any suggestions on how to fix this?

class ViewController: UITableViewController {
  override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()
  }
  override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
      super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
  }
  override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
     var cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("myCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell
     cell.textLabel?.text = "Cell #: \(indexPath.row)" // display the row number
     return cell
  }
  override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
     return 10; // testing out with 10 cells
  }
}

Add the function 

optional func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int

and return the number of sections you want.

You should make sure in the storyboard your UITableViewController has the class ViewController like so:

and that ViewController is both the delegate and datasource of the UITableViewController like so (Referencing Outlets):

You should also check that your UITableViewController is set to initialViewController if you don't see any lines at all (check the one at the bottom).
