Generate NSDate from day, month, and year

Question

I'm trying to generate a NSDate from a month day and year (all in integer format).

Right now my attempt is such:

NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar]; NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init]; NSNumber *day = [dataSource valueForKey:@"day"]; NSNumber *month = [dataSource valueForKey:@"month"]; NSNumber *year = [dataSource valueForKey:@"year"]; [components setDay:[day intValue]]; [components setMonth:[month intValue]]; [components setMonth:[year intValue]]; NSDate *_date = [calendar dateFromComponents:components]; 

However, _date outputs the following when day = 24, month = 8, year = 2011:

0168-07-25 04:56:02 +0000

I must be doing something horribly wrong, but I have no idea what. Anyone know what might be going on?

Answer 1

You have a typo in your code: (last line should be setYear:)

 [components setDay:[day intValue]];  [components setMonth:[month intValue]];  [components setYear:[year intValue]]; 

Answer 2

One glaring glitch is:

[components setMonth:[year intValue]];    //setting month with year!
