So i am trying to format a date(in string) and get the dat from it.
This is my code:
var cycleDate = "01.10.19"
func getDate(date: String) -> Date {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "dd-MM-yy"
let date = dateFormatter.date(from:date)!
return date
}
func getCycleDay(date: String) {
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.locale = Locale.current
dateFormatter.timeZone = NSTimeZone.local
let myDate = getDate(date: date)
let weekday = Calendar.current.component(.weekday, from: myDate)
let stringwWeekday = dateFormatter.weekdaySymbols[weekday]
print(date)
print(myDate)
print(weekday)
print(stringwWekday)
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
getCycleDay(date: cycleDate)
}
The prints are as follow:
01.10.19
2019-09-30 21:00:00 +0000
3
Wednesday
As you can see the date is not the correct one, I check that the time zone and locale are as needed.
What is the issue? Thanks in advance!
