I can see a really strange date conversion in my app. This is the code:

theDateString = [theDateFormatter stringFromDate:date];

If date is 2007-12-31 00:00:00 +0100
theDateString is 2008

but if date is 2004-12-31 00:00:00 +0100
theDateString is 2004.

The method is - (NSString *)stringFromDate:(NSDate *)date in NSDateFormatter and it is a mac app.

The NSDateFormatter format is: [theDateFormatter setDateFormat:@"Y"];

Why ?
Thanks

    You should use @"y" instead of @"Y", because the capital “Y” specifies the year according to the “week of year”. The 52nd week of 2007 ends in 2008, that’s why it returns 2008 instead of 2007.
