Number of days in given year using iPhone SDK?

I'm trying to get the number of days in a current year.

When I try the solution on Number of days in the current month using iPhone SDK?, and replace NSMonthCalendarUnit by NSYearCalendarUnit, I still get the number of days for that month.

Does anyone know how I should do this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's a super accurate NSCalendar extension in Swift 2:

extension NSCalendar {
    func daysInYear(date: NSDate = NSDate()) -> Int? {
        let year = components([NSCalendarUnit.Year], fromDate: date).year
        return daysInYear(year)
    }

    func daysInYear(year: Int) -> Int? {
        guard let begin = lastDayOfYear(year - 1), end = lastDayOfYear(year) else { return nil }
        return components([NSCalendarUnit.Day], fromDate: begin, toDate: end, options: []).day
    }

    func lastDayOfYear(year: Int) -> NSDate? {
        let components = NSDateComponents()
        components.year = year
        guard let years = dateFromComponents(components) else { return nil }

        components.month = rangeOfUnit(NSCalendarUnit.Month, inUnit: NSCalendarUnit.Year, forDate: years).length
        guard let months = dateFromComponents(components) else { return nil }

        components.day = rangeOfUnit(NSCalendarUnit.Day, inUnit: NSCalendarUnit.Month, forDate: months).length

        return dateFromComponents(components)
    }
}

You can use it like this:

let calendar = NSCalendar.currentCalendar() // I'm using the Gregorian calendar
calendar.daysInYear()     // 365 (since it's currently 2015)
calendar.daysInYear(2016) // 366 (leap year!)

This is super flexible since we don't assume anything about the length of the calendar:

let hebrew = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier: NSCalendarIdentifierHebrew)
hebrew?.daysInYear(-7)   // 354
hebrew?.daysInYear(-100) // 384

Enjoy.

As example:

func daysInYear(year: Int) -> Int {
   var calendar = NSCalendar(calendarIdentifier: NSGregorianCalendar)
   var b = NSDate.dateWithNaturalLanguageString("01.01.\(year)", locale: NSLocale.currentLocale()) as! NSDate
   var e = NSDate.dateWithNaturalLanguageString("12.31.\(year)", locale: NSLocale.currentLocale()) as! NSDate

   return calendar!.components(NSCalendarUnit.CalendarUnitDay, fromDate: b, toDate: e, options: nil).day + 1 
}

But default days return 355 and 354 this caused (may be) that counting begin from zero :)

Use the NSCalendar and NSDateComponent classes, like this:

long GetDaysInYear(int year) {
    NSDateComponents* c = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
    c.year = year;
    NSCalendar* cal = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
    NSDate* startDate = [cal dateFromComponents:c];
    c.year += 1;
    NSDate* endDate = [cal dateFromComponents:c];
    return [cal components:NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:startDate toDate:endDate options:0].day;
}

I finally came up with a solution that works. What I do is first calculate the number of months in the year and then for each month calculate the number of days for that month.

The code looks like this:

NSUInteger days = 0;
NSCalendar *calendar = [NSCalendar currentCalendar];
NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
NSDateComponents *components = [calendar components:NSYearCalendarUnit fromDate:today];
NSUInteger months = [calendar rangeOfUnit:NSMonthCalendarUnit
                                   inUnit:NSYearCalendarUnit
                                  forDate:today].length;
for (int i = 1; i <= months; i++) {
    components.month = i;
    NSDate *month = [calendar dateFromComponents:components];
    days += [calendar rangeOfUnit:NSDayCalendarUnit
                           inUnit:NSMonthCalendarUnit
                          forDate:month].length;
}

return days;

It is not as neat as I would have hoped for but it will work for any calendar such as the ordinary gregorian one or the islamic one.

If you're only going to use the Gregorian Calender, you can calculate it manually.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year#Algorithm

if year modulo 400 is 0 then leap
 else if year modulo 100 is 0 then no_leap
 else if year modulo 4 is 0 then leap
 else no_leap
