Programmatical Floating Button over tableView

Question

I'm trying to create a floating button over tableViewController, so far my code looks like this, but the Button sticks between two cells, so it's not floating...

let button = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 150, y: 550, width: 75, height: 75))
button.backgroundColor = .yellow
button.setTitle("To Jobs", for: .normal)
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonAction), for: .touchUpInside)
self.view.addSubview(button)

You could add the button to the window, so it will be on top of the tableView. — Milander, Aug 07 '18 at 11:38
What do you mean by " Button sticks between two cells, so it's not floating..." ?? — Anuraj, Aug 07 '18 at 11:40
Are you saying that the button moves when the table view is scrolled ? — Anuraj, Aug 07 '18 at 11:41

That's because self.view = UITableView inside UITableViewController , so you need to implement scrollViewDidScroll

class TableViewController: UITableViewController {

    let button = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 150, y: 550, width: 75, height: 75))

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        button.backgroundColor = .yellow
        button.setTitle("To Jobs", for: .normal)
        self.view.addSubview(button)

    }

    override func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {

        button.frame.origin.y = 550 + scrollView.contentOffset.y
    }

}
