3,358 PointsChallenge Solution Wrong?
Hi,
I'm trying to complete this challenge, and I've tested my solution in Xcode and it works fine. I'm at the 3rd step where it asks me to create the date format, and it says that there is a compilation. I've copied my code back and forth between here and Xcode and it compiles just fine over there.
NSTimeInterval secondsPerDay = 60 * 60 * 24;
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
// Add your code below
NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
NSTimeInterval tenDays = 60 * 60 * 24 * 10;
NSDate *futureDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:tenDays];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];
What am I doing wrong?

3,358 PointsI could have been clearer about my solution response. The problem is that the NSDateFormatter object is already declared. If you look further up in the code you'll see it. So just take out the declaration of dateFormatter (your second line) and you should be fine.

3,466 PointsI have the same issue as well, Im pretty sure my code is right, but the code checker finds issues: NSTimeInterval secondsPerDay = 60 * 60 * 24; NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init]; // Add your code below NSDate *today = [[NSDate alloc] init]; NSDate *futureDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:secondsPerDay*10]; NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc]init]; [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];
unless there is something wrong with using the "/"?

9,823 PointsFor me did it work that way:
NSTimeInterval secondsPerDay = 60 * 60 * 24;
NSTimeInterval secondsPerTenDays = secondsPerDay*10;
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"MM/dd/yyyy"];
// Add your code below
NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
NSDate *futureDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:secondsPerTenDays];
NSString *dateString = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:futureDate];
