Answer 1

Noon is at 12:00 PM. Afternoon is from 12:01 PM to around 5:00 PM. Evening is from 5:01 PM to 8 PM, or around sunset. Night is from sunset to sunrise, so from 8:01 PM until 5:59 AM.

NSDateComponents *components = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSCalendarUnitHour fromDate:[NSDate date]];
[components setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone localTimeZone]];
NSInteger hour = [components hour];

if(hour >= 6 && hour < 12)
    NSLog(@"Good morning!");
else if(hour >= 12 && hour < 17)
    NSLog(@"Good afternoon!");
else if(hour >= 17 && hour < 20)
    NSLog(@"Good evening!");
else if((hour >= 20) || (hour >= 0 && hour < 6))
    NSLog(@"Good night!");
