比较日期大小是任何编程语言都会经常遇到的问题,再iOS编程中,通常用NSDate对象来存储一个时间(包括日期和时间、时区),而且 NSDate类提供了compare方法来进行时间的比较,但有时不想那么精确的知道两个日期的大小(默认会比较到秒),可以用下面的实现方法:
+(int)compareOneDay:(NSDate *)oneDay withAnotherDay:(NSDate *)anotherDay
{
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];
NSString *oneDayStr = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:oneDay];
NSString *anotherDayStr = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:anotherDay];
NSDate *dateA = [dateFormatter dateFromString:oneDayStr];
NSDate *dateB = [dateFormatter dateFromString:anotherDayStr];
NSComparisonResult result = [dateA compare:dateB];
NSLog(@"date1 : %@, date2 : %@", oneDay, anotherDay);
if (result == NSOrderedDescending) {
//NSLog(@"Date1 is in the future");
return 1;
}
else if (result == NSOrderedAscending){
//NSLog(@"Date1 is in the past");
return -1;
}
//NSLog(@"Both dates are the same");
return 0;
}
