Swift Date Components & Calculations Tutorial

In this video I show you how to create a Swift Date object from DateComponents and use those dates to demonstrate a few different calculations. I show you how to add or subtracts dates from each other, how to get the time interval between two dates and how to check if two dates are in the same time period. Swift's Calendar object is what makes this all relatively simple for us developers.

I've spent more time learning about and messing with Date/Calendar than I'd like in building my app, but I've only scratched the surface. Great tutorial, Sean.
