Subtract 7 days from current date

by

code:

NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
NSDateComponents *dateComponents = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[dateComponents setDay:-7];
NSDate *sevenDaysAgo = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] dateByAddingComponents:dateComponents toDate:currentDate options:0];
NSLog(@"\ncurrentDate: %@\nseven days ago: %@", currentDate, sevenDaysAgo);
[dateComponents release];

output:

currentDate: 2012-04-22 12:53:45 +0000
seven days ago: 2012-04-15 12:53:45 +0000

And I’m fully agree with JeremyP.
