Squaring the star

The stars didn't come out square for me.

I like small phones, because small, so I target the iPhone 5s in simulation.

On such a small screen, to get the stars to come out with the same horizontal-vertical that I put in, I had calculate what Utilities > Size Inspector I wanted.

Working with 5 of the 44x44 buttons at a Spacing of 1 made for a Width of 224 == ((5 * 44) + (4 * 1)).

Yea they left it nameless

Why do they name an "override func" with the noun "tableView" rather that a verb to say what it does?

    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return meals.count

    }

I have no idea.

I imagine that decision won't make much sense until after you and I learn some more abou the Swift programming language, and even then we might find this to be sloppy work. Somehow it made sense to them to start out with the excessively abbreviated "override func tableView".
