<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
In an IOS Swift application I have a function that is returning a date as a string like (&quot;2016-04-18&quot;). I need help with Swift code for a function that will take this string or any other string in this format (for any other date) and convert it into NSDate and return me that date as &nbsp;a string in the following format &quot;18 April 2016&quot;. <br />
So if I give this function any other date in the format &quot;2016-03-03&quot; then I will get back &quot;3 March 2016&quot;.<br />
Thank you for your help.

Converting a string to NSDate format using Swift

Swift is a compiled programming language created for iOS, OS X, watchOS, tvOS and Linux development by Apple Inc. Swift is designed to work with Apple's Cocoa and Cocoa Touch frameworks and the large body of existing Objective-C code written for Apple products. Swift is intended to be more resilient to erroneous code ("safer") than Objective-C and also more concise. It is built with the LLVM compiler framework included in Xcode 6 and later and uses the Objective-C runtime, which allows C, Objective-C, C++ and Swift code to run within a single program. A second free implementation of Swift targets Microsoft's Common Language Infrastructure (a.k.a. .NET) and the Java/Android platform.

Swift Programming

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.

Objective-C is an object-oriented programming language that is a strict superset of C (any valid C code is equally valid Objective-C code), and it inherits its object-oriented capabilities from Smalltalk. All procedural syntax is identical to that of C, and all object-oriented syntax is an implementation of Smalltalk messaging. It is the main programming language used by Apple for OS-X and iOS and their respective APIs/ Objective-C inherits the syntax, primitive types, and flow control statements of C and adds syntax for defining classes and methods.
