NSArray with days of the week and months of the year

Question

Is there a way I can get an array of (string of days of the week) so: monday, tuesday, wednesday.... and also for months?

I can manually create that array, but I was wondering if there a more eloquent way of doing this... Thanks.

Answer 1

This code;

NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
NSArray *weekdays = [dateFormatter weekdaySymbols];

will give you the the weekdays in the users current locale.

If you want a particular locale set the desired locale on the dateFormatter.

Creating an NSDateFormatter is expensive so create one and reuse it.
