Number of days between two NSDate objects

Question

I\'m trying to compare two days of NSDate objects, I used at the first time NSDateComponents to calculate difference between my two dates Objects, but it is working correct

Answer 1

NSString *start = @"2010-09-01";
NSString *end = @"2010-12-01";

NSDateFormatter *f = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[f setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];
NSDate *startDate = [f dateFromString:start];
NSDate *endDate = [f dateFromString:end];
[f release];

NSCalendar *gregorianCalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSDateComponents *components = [gregorianCalendar components:NSDayCalendarUnit
                                                    fromDate:startDate
                                                      toDate:endDate
                                                     options:0];
[gregorianCalendar release];

components now holds the difference.

NSLog(@"%ld", [components day]);
