Determine the number of months between two dates using Cocoa

Question

Hello,

How do I calculate the number of months between two dates using Cocoa?

Thanks, Stan

Answer 1

Look at NSCalendars components:fromDate:toDate:options method. It allows you to subtract dates and then extract the months property value

Answer 2

NSInteger month = [[[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components: NSMonthCalendarUnit
                                                   fromDate: yourFirstDate
                                                     toDate: yourSecondDate
                                                    options: 0] month];
