Number of days between two NSDates [duplicate]

Answer 1

I use this as category method for NSDate class

// returns number of days (absolute value) from another date (as number of midnights beween these dates)
- (int)daysFromDate:(NSDate *)pDate {
    NSCalendar *calendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSCalendarIdentifierGregorian];
    NSInteger startDay=[calendar ordinalityOfUnit:NSCalendarUnitDay
                                           inUnit:NSCalendarUnitEra
                                          forDate:[NSDate date]];
    NSInteger endDay=[calendar ordinalityOfUnit:NSCalendarUnitDay
                                         inUnit:NSCalendarUnitEra
                                        forDate:pDate];
    return abs(endDay-startDay);
}
