A:
- Create an instance of
NSDateFormatter. - Configure the date formatter so that it understands the format you want it to parse (
setDateFormat:,setTimeFormat:). - Call the date formatter's
-dateFromString:method.

You don't change this code. But when the element has been parsed completely, `currentDate`contains the string you then convert to a NSDate with the date formatter.
