Creating a tableView on each cycle of for loop. Swift - ios

Question

I am trying to create a tableView for each value in my array and I am not sure how to go about creating that. The code below clearly doesn't work I just used it to illustrate my point. How do I differentiate between tables in the tableView protocol functions.
let array = ["1","2","3","4","5"]
for value in array{
let newTableView: UITableView()
//Continue with creation of table
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return self.tableContent.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
return cell
}
Any help is appreciated and please comment if the question is unclear

Previously, I have needed multiple TableViews or Collection Views in a single ViewController, e.g. for different tabs.
You can identify each table by using the tag property.
let data : [Int : [YourObjects]]
for key, value in data {
let newTableView: UITableView()
// Identify the table
newTableView.tag = key
newTableView.dataSource = self
//Continue with creation of table
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return self.data[tableView.tag].count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
// Dequeue cell
// Get the data for this table, identified by the tag
let tableData = data[tableView.tag]
cell.populateCell(withData: tableData[indexPath.row])
return cell
}
