Swift- Using Delegation to append data to TableView within CollectionView - ios

Question

I have a CollectionViewController named yearOnethat looks something like this:
When you click the add button for each quarter cell it leads you to SearchPage:
I used delegation to append the data clicked on SearchPage to yearOne
The delegation seems to work and data seems to append as I tried the print(vc.data) but it doesn't seem to show up on the tableView when backed into yearOne viewcontroller through navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true) Am I doing something wrong?
import UIKit
class yearOne: UICollectionViewController, coursesDelegate {
let customCellIdentifier = "cellID"
let customCellIdentifier2 = "cellID2"
let customCellIdentifier3 = "cellID3"
let customCellIdentifier4 = "cellID4"
let quarters = [
customLabel (title: "Fall Quarter"),
customLabel (title: "Winter Quarter"),
customLabel (title: "Spring Quarter"),
customLabel (title: "Summer Quarter")
]
let vc = fallQuarterCell()
let vc2 = winterQuarterCell()
let vc3 = springQuarterCell()
let vc4 = summerQuarterCell()
func sendDataBackFall(data: String) {
vc.data.append(data)
print(vc.data)
//UserDefaults.standard.set(vc.data, forKey: "SavedArray")
}
func sendDataBackWinter(data2: String) {
vc2.data.append(data2)
}
func sendDataBackSpring(data3: String) {
vc3.data.append(data3)
}
func sendDataBackSummer(data4: String) {
vc4.data.append(data4)
}

I commented out the UsersDefault.standard.set.... because the data itself doesn't seem to refresh and display in the tableView atm

Answer 1

Check at your cellForRow method. I don't believe you set the text anywhere.
