How to get NSDate day, month and year in integer format?

Question

I want to get the day, month and year components of NSDate in integer form i.e. if the date is 1/2/1988 then I should get 1, 2 and 1988 separately as an integer

Answer 1

NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
NSCalendar* calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDateComponents* components = [calendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:currentDate]; // Get necessary date components

[components month]; //gives you month
[components day]; //gives you day
[components year]; // gives you year

NSString *temp=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Months:%d Day:%d Year:%d",[components month],  [components day],[components year]];
NSLog(@"%@",temp);
