This is the Swift code I am usi

Answer 1

var relativeTime: String {
    // don't forget spacing on these constants.
    let futurePrefix = "" // " in" is a viable choice here...
    let pastSuffix = " ago" // " ago" is a viable choice here...
    let now = NSDate()
    for (method, unitName) in [
        (now.years, "year"),
        (now.months, "month"),
        (now.weeks, "week"),
        (now.days, "day"),
        (now.hours, "hour"),
        (now.minutes, "minute"),
        (now.seconds, "second")
    ] {
        let qty = method(self)
        let absQty = abs(method(self))
        if absQty > 0 {
            return (qty < 0 ? futurePrefix : "") +
                String(absQty) + " " +
                unitName +
                (absQty == 1 ? "": "s") +
                (qty > 0 ? pastSuffix : "")
        }
    }
    return ""
}

An alternative implementation of Leo Dabus's implementation of relativeTime that does both future and past and is more succinct. (Swift2.3)
