Another scenario where you would use this is if you want to have sections headers in your list... For example, if you are displaying a list of contacts in alphabetical order, you can have a section header every time you get to a new letter when scrolling through the list. In this case, you would return 2.
If you only have a single type of item in your list, just implement this and always return 1.
