• My original output is 11/08/1991

My Code

NSDateFormatter *dateformate=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];

[dateformate setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];

NSDate *date = [dateformate dateFromString:strdate];

NSLog(@"Date is :%@",date);

Answer 1

Try this it will give right date,

  NSString *strdate = @"11/08/91";

NSDateFormatter *dateformate=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];

[dateformate setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yy"];

NSDate *date = [dateformate dateFromString:strdate];


NSLog(@"Date is :%@",date);

It will give 1991-11-07 18:30:00 +0000

Then you can do like,

  [dateformate setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];

NSString *str = [dateformate stringFromDate:date];
NSDate *finalDate = [dateformate dateFromString:str];

and it will give,

final date str is 11/08/1991

final date is 1991-11-07 18:30:00 +0000

Answer 2

NSString *strdate = @"11/08/91";

NSDateFormatter *dateformate=[[NSDateFormatter alloc]init];

[dateformate setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yy"];

NSDate *date = [dateformate dateFromString:strdate];

[dateformate setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];
//date = [dateformate dateFromString:[dateformate stringFromDate:date] ];
NSLog(@"Date is :%@",[dateformate stringFromDate:date]);

Output is : Date is :11/08/1991
