Question

I\'m trying to write a simple function using Objective C that accepts an NSDate object and returns an NSDate object that contains the same date value but has removed any tim

Answer 1

Try this:

-(NSDate *)dateWithOutTime:(NSDate *)datDate {
    if( datDate == nil ) {
        datDate = [NSDate date];
    }
    NSDateComponents* comps = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:datDate];
    return [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateFromComponents:comps];
}

Answer 2

-(NSDate *)dateWithOutTime:(NSDate *)datDate{
    if( datDate == nil ) {
        datDate = [NSDate date];
    }
    NSDateComponents* comps = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSYearCalendarUnit|NSMonthCalendarUnit|NSDayCalendarUnit|NSHourCalendarUnit|NSMinuteCalendarUnit|NSSecondCalendarUnit fromDate:datDate];
    [comps setHour:00];
    [comps setMinute:00];
    [comps setSecond:00];
    [comps setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:0]];

    return [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateFromComponents:comps];
}
