Exercise 15.1 (all in main), not working? Help.

[Hesadanza]

I've got a bug here apparently, and I can't find it.  The output of this program is 0, when it should be 7.  What am I doing wrong?  The components variable is null after initialization for some reason.  Therefore nothing is returned from [components day].

(I realize that we're supposed to make a new elapsedDays method, but for the sake of simplicity I need to figure out what's wrong here first).

Code: (Objective-C)

NSDate *now = [[NSDate alloc] init];
        
        NSTimeInterval secondsPerWeek = 24 * 60 * 60 * 7;
        
        NSDate *oneweekfromnow = [[NSDate alloc] initWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:secondsPerWeek];
        
        NSCalendar *mycalendar = [[NSCalendar alloc] init];
        
        NSDateComponents *components = [mycalendar components:NSDayCalendarUnit fromDate:now toDate:oneweekfromnow options:0];
        
        NSInteger days = 0;
        days = [components day];
        
        NSLog(@"The elapsed days are %li", (long) days);

I think I figured out what I did wrong here.  I initialized the mycalendar variable wrong.  You can't just alloc-init.  Something like [NSCalendar currentCalendar] is required to correctly initialize a calendar, so it knows what type of calendar you want to use.
