Getting wrong dates when Trying to display start and end date in swift

Question

I am trying to get the current date and pass it as Startdate. I want end date to be 90 days before the start date.

func transDate(){


let date = Date()
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
dateFormatter.dateFormat = "YYYY-MM-DD"
let startDate = dateFormatter.string(from: date)



let eDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -90, to: Date())
let enDate = dateFormatter.string(from: eDate!)


print("Date \(startDate) \(enDate)")



}

When i try to print them i get

Date 2017-02-38 2016-11-314

Can anyone help me how to fix this ?

The duplicate question is only related to the year, but reveals also the mistaken day specifier. — vadian, Feb 07 '17 at 07:34

Dateformat you can get the difference from here, use the dateformat

dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"

instead of

dateFormatter.dateFormat = "YYYY-MM-DD"

for example purpose

    let date = Date()
    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"
    let startDate = dateFormatter.string(from: date)



    let eDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -90, to: Date())
    let enDate = dateFormatter.string(from: eDate!)


    print("Date \(startDate) \(enDate)")

output
