simpleTable.m

@interface ViewController ()

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray * items;
@end

@implementation ViewController
@synthesize items = _items;

- (NSArray *)items
{
    if (!_items)
        _items = @[@"Item1", @"Item2", @"Item3", @"Item4"];
    return _items;
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return [self.items count];
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell * cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"myCell"];
    if (!cell)
    {
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@"myCell"];
    }
    
    cell.textLabel.text = [self.items objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    
    return cell;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
  // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
