How to pass data from ViewController3 to ViewController1 - ios

Question

I am new to Swift and was wondering on how to pass data from ViewController to ViewController that isn’t connected by segue. I have spend 2 hours on this and still can’t figure a way to do it.
Edit: The problem that I am confused on is How to take out all the stacked ViewController expect the root ViewController while being able to pass data back to the first ViewController from ViewController3 with
'navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: false)'
class ViewController: UIViewController, nameDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var label1: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var textfield1: UITextField!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
label1.text = "Name"
}
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
let vc2 = segue.destination as! ViewController2
vc2.middleOfTransferingName = textfield1.text!
}
#IBAction func buttonPressed1(_ sender: Any) {
performSegue(withIdentifier: "go2", sender: self)
}
func nameThatWasEntered(name: String) {
label1.text = name
}
}
class ViewController2: UIViewController, nameDelegate {
var middleOfTransferingName: String = ""
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
let vc3 = segue.destination as! ViewController3
vc3.transferedWithSegueLabelText = middleOfTransferingName
vc3.namePassBack = self
}
#IBAction func buttonPressed2(_ sender: Any) {
performSegue(withIdentifier: "go3", sender: self)
}
func nameThatWasEntered(name: String) {
}
}
protocol nameDelegate {
func nameThatWasEntered(name: String)
}
class ViewController3: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var label3: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var textfield3: UITextField!
var transferedWithSegueLabelText: String = ""
var namePassBack: nameDelegate?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
label3.text = transferedWithSegueLabelText
}
#IBAction func buttonPressed3(_ sender: Any) {
namePassBack!.nameThatWasEntered(name: textfield3.text!)
navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: false)
}
}

Answer 1

I found the way to transfer ViewController3 data to ViewController!
var vc3 = ViewController3()
then making ViewController as the delegate of vc3 upon loading.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
vc3.namePassBack = self
}
Then going back to ViewController3, I add ""vc3."" before using the delegate.
#IBAction func buttonPressed3(_ sender: Any) {
vc3.namePassBack!.nameThatWasEntered(name: textfield3.text!)
navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: false)
}

if you use segue then use 'Unwind segue'
for this write given code in your 'A view controller'
#IBAction func unwindToThisViewController(segue: UIStoryboardSegue) {
}
In B_viewcontroller, On press button call 'Unwind segue'.
Note:- With the help of Unwind segue you can send the value for 3ed vc to 1se vc same as you send value form 1st vc to 2nd vc
