Re: Calculate age in objective-c

Ben - thanks. I had a solution very similar to the above before I found this. But your solution is way better!

You don't need all the components either - you only need year. I tested this, and it works. Single line of code! Let Calendar deal with the messy details.

NSDateComponents* timeOnEarth = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:NSYearCalendarUnit fromDate:birthdate toDate:[NSDate date] options:0]; return [timeOnEarth year];

You don't get a date or date of birth. You provide a date of birth and get an age.

Thanks for your Code-Snippet. I've modified it, so it will work for any region:

NSString *language = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *locale = [[NSLocale currentLocale] objectForKey: NSLocaleCountryCode];

NSString *firstChoice = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@_%@", language, locale];
NSString *secondChoice = language;
NSString *thirdChoice = @"en";

[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:firstChoice, secondChoice, thirdChoice, nil] forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];

Can't you just use:
NSDateComponents* timeOnEarth = [cal components:unitFlags fromDate:self.dateOfBirth toDate:[NSDate date] options:0];and thenreturn timeOnEarth.year;?This way you don't have to calculate if their birthday is before today's date...

Yes. It has a £ symbol, and the # is not present. Also @ and " are in different places compared with US English keyboards.

Are you still looking. I just purchased a UK MBA and can only find US covers - definitely buying US layout next time. Too much coffee and liquid around not to have one.....

Re: Dealing with SemanticHacker in Ruby

rickerbh — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 06:58:27 -0000

No, that is ruby code so will need to be executed by the ruby interpreter. The easiest way to get this to run will be to copy both the larger code block and the "make things happen" block into one file, and just run that through the ruby interpreter. If you're looking to use this vai a web page I'd recommend placing the larger code block in a separate file and including it in your sinatra/camping/rails app - just to keep it separate.

First of all I'd suggest you read http://developer.apple.com/lib... if you don't know where to put this code.

And to answer the question, it goes in the .m file, but you will need to define the interface in the .h file as well.

British English doesn't exist as a language in iOS 3.x. Also, if you want another locale inside a language (like Australian English) then this technique is still useful. But good call for noticing the change - I should update this article.

You should change language from English to British English, not Region Format.
