Problem with NSDateformatter

Question

Hi all, i've seen many questions on NSDateformatter and NSDate, but none could help me out.

[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy/mm/dd"];
        NSDate *date = [formatter dateFromString:@"2010/03/10"];
        if (date) {
            NSLog(@"Date returned:::%@",date);
            return date;
        }

The Probelm is that, its returning the date --- '2010-01-10 00:03:00 +0600' The month is changed to 1 and the minute to 3, What might be the problem???

Answer 1

Use MM for month, instead of mm. See the Unicode Standard for reference.

Answer 2

use

[formatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy/MM/dd"];

It is considering small mm to minutes that's why i guess...
