Why are you creating these objects -- you're just leaking them?

7 unsigned unitFlags = NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit | NSWeekdayCalendarUnit;
8 int x = 0;
9 now = [NSDate date];
10 comps = [calendar components:unitFlags fromDate:now];
11 x = [comps weekday];
12 NSLog(@"Weekday is: %i", x); // prints "Weekday is: 3" to the console
13 [comps setDay:-x];
14 startDate = [calendar dateByAddingComponents:comps toDate:now options:0];



What do you get if you print the other components of comps to the console?
Since you initialised 'comps' from 'now', the year component will be 2008. So add another 2008 years to 2008 and you'll get 4016 -- add another six months doubled and you'll get 4017...


If you simply want to subtract 3 days from the current date, create a new date components with a day component of -3.

NSDate *currentDate = [NSDate date];
NSDateComponents *comps = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
[comps setDay:-3];
NSDate *date = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:comps toDate:currentDate options:0];
[comps release];
