Find Weeknumber in iPhone

Question

This must be simple, but I am not able to figure out.

I want to find the week number as an Integer in iphone.

This shows how to get a String Code

-(NSString*) getWeekOfMonth {
  NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
 [dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterMediumStyle];
 [dateFormatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterShortStyle];
 [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"W"];

 NSString *weekNumber = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:[NSDate date]];    
 [dateFormatter release];    
 return weekNumber;
}

Thanks

Answer 1

Or use:

CFAbsoluteTime currentTime = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent();
CFTimeZoneRef currentTimeZone = CFTimeZoneCopyDefault();    
SInt32 weekNumber = CFAbsoluteTimeGetWeekOfYear(currentTime, currentTimeZone);

Answer 2

int intWeekNumber = [weekNumber intValue];

Answer 3

Use integerValue:

NSInteger weekInt = [weekNumber integerValue];
