iOS Weird "Expected expression" error

[moonman239]

As indicated in the code below, what I'm trying to do is access a table view cell from within a switch-case statement. The line where I do that is bolded below. Note that the bolded line of code works if I move it out of the switch-case statement, and no other errors are generated. I tried cleaning the project, but to no avail.

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    NSString *segueIdentifier;
    NSInteger row = [indexPath row];
    NSInteger section = [indexPath section];
    if (section < [[self elements] count] - 1)
    {
    switch (row) {
        case 0:
            [B]UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];[/B] 
            segueIdentifier = @"VCSegue1";
            break;
        case 1:
            segueIdentifier = @"VCSegue3";
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
    }
    else
    {
        segueIdentifier = @"VCSegue4";
    }
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:segueIdentifier sender:[NSNumber numberWithInteger:[indexPath section]]];
}

You can not declare variables inside a switch statement, the scope would also make "cell" invisible outside the switch even if it was allowed.

Or you could put everything under the case 0 statement in a block. That is, put braces around it. Then you could declare a new variable. But, again, it would only have scope within that block.

That's weird, but OK. Although, a "you can't put that there" message in Xcode would've been nice.

I think I'll do that.
