Swift Why isn't my date object that's (Equatable) equal after converting it to a string and back?

Question

I\'m writing a unit test to check that my conversion from a date to string and back is successful.

I convert it to a string via:

func convertDateToString         


        

Answer 1

The problem there is that Date is stored as a FloatingPoint value (timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate). There is fractional seconds being discarded there when converting your Date to String and back to Date. Take a look at post.
