Navigation controller not pushing another view

Question

I have a table view and in the select cell table view I have put the following code to push the controller. The code is below but it's not working here:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    println("You selected cell #\(indexPath.row)!")
    let second: SecondViewController = SecondViewController()
    let navigat = UINavigationController()
    navigat.pushViewController(second, animated: true)

}

Answer 1

This would never work!

You are creating a new UINavigationController object and trying to push your SecondViewController into it. Ultimately nothing is getting added to visible view hierarchy ie on top of your view controller.

Instead of instantiating a new UINavigationController object, try this:

self.navigationController?.pushViewController(secondViewController, animated: true)

PS: For better naming convention, I replaced second with secondViewController
