ios - Pass arrays data from a ViewController to a TableView -

i couldn't find specific case have pass , append 2 or more arrays of string tableview located in 2nd viewcontroller. want push 2 different strings inside 2 different uilabels

i have data gets inside through uialertviewcontroller in mainviewcontroller

var name = alertcontroller.textfields?[0].text var number = alertcontroller.textfields?[1].text 

then take data , every time new set of name/number append arrays of string in mainvc

var playernames = [string]() var playernumbers = [string]() self.playernames.append(name!) self.playernumbers.append(number!) 

now created table view , custom cell .xib , i'd call , set custom labels this

tableview in second viewcontroller

func tableview(_ tableview: uitableview, cellforrowat indexpath: indexpath) ->  uitableviewcell {  customcell.tableviewcellnumber.text = mainvc.playernumbers[indexpath.row] customcell.tableviewcellname.text = mainvc.playernames[indexpath.row] return customcell } 

so every new set makes new row name + number

i tried userdefaults performforsegue doesnt work! can print arrays fine, wont show me new rows @ all.

edit: actual question

ok guess misunderstood use of nsuserdefaults... @ moment have in viewdidload of 2nd controller

if ((userdefaults.standard.array(forkey: "playernames")) != nil){             let playernames = (userdefaults.standard.array(forkey:  "playernames") as? [string])!             print(playernames)         }      } 

and printing new values, want new appended value show in custom cell label.text cell.namelabel.text = value how retrieve value everytime , store it? if try playernames, says doesnt exist..

did synchronize user defaults after inputting data? userdefaults.synchronize()
