After insert in StoryBoard create outlet of tableview and searchbar.

After create outlet set both delegate method in ViewDidLoad.

Step - 4: Add Delegate Method

After create outlet add delegate method of both and add delegate method function in class file.

Step - 5: Declare Array

Here we declare two array. One is for contain all country name and second one is store data after search any country.
