What should I write in tableView(_:cellForRowAtIndexPath:) method to custom cells?

Question

I'm designing a tableview with 3 custom cells. I want to customize them by adding unique accessory Type. I've crated a tableViewController with static cells. Each cell I wrote a special Identifier and special class.

How should my tableView fund looks like for 3 custom cells?

    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let CityCellIdentifier = "CityTableViewCell"

    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(CityCellIdentifier, forIndexPath: indexPath) as! CityTableViewCell
    // Configure the cell...

    return cell
}

should I create three cell variables for that?

His question is in swift, you linked him to an objective c question — Shades, Feb 28 '16 at 14:21
Do you mean the tableview will at most contain 3 (different) cells or will the tableview show multiple cells which can be of 3 different types? — Kymer, Feb 28 '16 at 14:21

Are these 3 cells or 3 cell types? If you need 3 cells, just create them statically in your storyboard. If 3 types, give them different identifiers and just create a `if` or `switch`. — Sulthan, Feb 28 '16 at 14:40

Per my answer here, use your own variation of the following code:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView?, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath?) -> UITableViewCell? {

    if (criteria for cell 1) {
        let cell = tableView!.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell1", forIndexPath: indexPath) as? cell1
        return (cell)
    }
    else {
        let cell = tableView!.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("cell2", forIndexPath: indexPath) as? cell2
        return (cell)
    }
}

What should I write in tableView(_:cellForRowAtIndexPath:) method to custom cells?
