iOS New date allocation

[AG!]

Hello,

Im a new iphone developer so please be patient with me.

The problem is that I have a function like this

-(void)buttonPressed {

NSDate someDate = [[NSDate alloc] init];

NSlog(@"Date: %d", someDate);

}

NOTE: Im not in front of my MAC at the moment so my code may differ slightly.

The issue is that when ever I press the button that fires the buttonPressed method, a time is printed, however, it does not always increase (though it should theoretically). Sometimes is decreases (i.e. goes back in time). Does anybody know of a solution or the problem Im facing?

Thanks

NSDate isn't an int, so you shouldn't be trying to print it as one.

See:

http://developer.apple.com/iphone/l...Classes/NSDate_Class/Reference/Reference.html

Try:

NSlog(@"Date: %@", [someDate description]);

Try:

	NSDate *date = [NSDate date];
	NSLog(@"date: %@", date);
