What is Pushing Presenting?

Pushing a view controller adds it to the navigation stack with a standard slide animation from the right. Presenting a view controller modally overlays it on the current screen, often as a sheet or full-screen cover. The choice between pushing and presenting depends on whether the new screen is part of the current flow or a separate, interruptive task.
