下面我們來看一篇關於iOS 時間(年月日)大小的比較的例子，希望這篇文章能夠給各位帶來幫助，具體的如下所示。

一般說到比較大小，我們都會想到比較兩個數字的大小，但是如果讓你比較兩個日期的大小呢，如：比較2016-07-21和2016-08-20的大小，NSDate之間的比較有compare來實現，整理方法，代碼如下：

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyyy-MM-dd"];
    NSDate *date1 = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"2016-07-21"];
    NSDate *date2 = [dateFormatter dateFromString:@"2016-08-20"];
    if ([[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",[self compareOneDay:date1 withAnotherDay:date2]] isEqualToString:@"1"]) {
        NSLog(@"date1 > date2");
    }else if ([[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",[self compareOneDay:date1 withAnotherDay:date2]] isEqualToString:@"-1"]){
        NSLog(@"date1 < date2");
    }else{
        NSLog(@"date1 = date2");
    }
}
 
#pragma mark - 時間比較大小
- (int)compareOneDay:(NSDate *)oneDay withAnotherDay:(NSDate *)anotherDay
{
    NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];
    NSString *oneDayStr = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:oneDay];
    NSString *anotherDayStr = [dateFormatter stringFromDate:anotherDay];
    NSDate *dateA = [dateFormatter dateFromString:oneDayStr];
    NSDate *dateB = [dateFormatter dateFromString:anotherDayStr];
    NSComparisonResult result = [dateA compare:dateB];
    NSLog(@"oneDay : %@, anotherDay : %@", oneDay, anotherDay);
    if (result == NSOrderedDescending) {
        //oneDay > anotherDay
        return 1;
    }
    else if (result == NSOrderedAscending){
        //oneDay < anotherDay
        return -1;
    }
    //oneDay = anotherDay
    return 0;
}
