iOS how to get a UILabel view's height programmatically

I am pretty new to iOS dev. I am trying to create a view with a UILabel and a UITableView. The UILabel is used to display some header text & the tableview is positioned below the header & it covers the remaining portion of the screen.

I am creating this view using code & not the storyboard approach. So I need to specify the height & width of my tableview as constraints. For the width I have set a constraint where it matches the width of the container view. However for the height I wish to use the following equation:

tableview's height = container view's height - UILabel's height

For this I need to know how I can get the container's & the UILabel's height via code. I tried the following approach-

CGFloat header_height=lblHeader.bounds.size.height;

But this gives the same height as the container view's height .i.e. 460. Can someone please explain how I can get the height of the UIlabel view?

To get the height of the UILabel do this instead:

CGFloat header_height = lblHeader.frame.size.height;

Frames and bounds are not the same.

Cocoa: What's the difference between the frame and the bounds?
