title: Incorrect number of objects getting added to mutable array
body: <p>I have a view controller with table view that contains 8 cells(sections).I have created a textField and added that text field as a subview to 6 cells,remaining 2 cells of which one cell contains a text view and the other with a button.Because I am using the same text field,I have assigned tag values and then created a mutable array,added the textfield to that array.Here is the implementation code:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Taking in regard the suggestion given by Mr.Lanc,I have changed the implementation code</strong></p>

  <p>Now as we can observe from the above o/p that number of fields that are getting printed is 5 i.e the 4 textfields and the cell with button,But as per our coding in -CellForRowAtIndexPath,6 cells contains textfield,hence the number of fields must be 6,but we are getting wrong result i.e. 5 (4 textfields+button) which is a blunder.</p>
  
  <p>This is also leading me to saving the data in table view issue,i.e. for right navigation bar button item titled "Save" in my case,I have implemented:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-(IBAction)save:(id)sender

  //Code for saving entered data using sqlite

              NSLog(@"am in the save loop");
              NSString *insertSQL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"INSERT INTO reminders(name,event,date,bfr,val,num,bod,grp) VALUES (\"%@\", \"%@\", \"%@\", \"%@\", \"%@\", \"%@\", \"%@\", \"%@\")", fieldOne.text, fieldTwo.text,fieldThree.text,fieldFour.text,isSelected,fieldFive.text,textView.text,fieldSix.text];

                  [alert show];
                  [alert dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];

          rowID =  sqlite3_last_insert_rowid(remindersDB);
          NSLog(@"last inserted rowId = %d",rowID);
  
          sqlite3_finalize(statement);
          sqlite3_close(remindersDB);
  
          [self.tableView reloadData];
   }
  }

  <p>Now the problem is with the index location values,since the number of values(fields) that <strong>"fields"</strong> array is holding is 5,the index values would be 0-4,but If I give the values accordingly,i.e. while saving,I would get a field less while inserting data in to sqlite database,Also I am getting null values in 5th and 7th locations of table view when printing in console.In the above implementation snippet,we can observe that I have inserted using the index location to that of table view section values(indices).</p>
  
  <p>When I save according to section index values of table view,the values are getting printed properly.But I am getting crash problem when I don't touch the 5th and 7th locations of table view.i.e. '*** -[NSMutableArray objectAtIndex:]: index 5 beyond bounds [0 .. 4]'</p>
  
  <p>I don't understand the reason why only 5 field values are getting inserted in to the array instead of 6.Can any one please guide me in right direction</p>
  
  <p>Sorry for this huge post,I wanted to be informative,hence I have made it look detailed so that the issue can be answered with ease.</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>The code for number of sections and rows for table view:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#pragma mark -
  #pragma mark TableView Datasource
  
  - (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)atableView
  {
  
      return 8;
  
  }
  
  - (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)atableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
  {
  
      int arr = 1;
  
      return arr;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Implementation of height for row at index path :</p>
  
  <pre><code>- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)atableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
  {
      float f;
      if (indexPath.section==6&amp;&amp;indexPath.row==0) 
      {
          f=140.0f;
          return f;
      }
      else
      {
          f = 44.0f;
      return f;
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>All the table view cells are not loading before scrolling.But when I scroll then the control is reaching 5th,6th and 7th cells.I found out that's the reason why the textfield in 5th and 7th cells are not getting added to "fields" array.</p>
  
  <p>I searched for solution mostly the posts of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6670573/uitableview-is-loading-the-same-cells-of-some-reason">this</a> type</p>
  
  <p>Thanks all in advance :)</p>
