Get Day Name in NSDate

In this example we will find what day(Sun, Mon or Tue etc) is it for a given date.

    NSDate *today=[NSDate date];

    

    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE"];

    NSString *currentDay = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:today];

    NSLog(@"currentDay=%@", currentDay);

    //currentDay is 1 for Sun, 2 for Mon

    [dateFormatter release];
