Reset the user's step count to 0

Question

I am working on a health care application with a pedometer function. I am using the CMPedometer class to start counting step, but I am looking for a way that can set the pedometer's Step Count to 0 after midnight and start counting steps for the next day (when movement is detected) and so on.

I have tried messing around with NSDate classes but having a hard time actually connecting them to work out as explained above.

    myPedometer = CMPedometer()

    myPedometer.startUpdates(from: NSDate() as Date, withHandler: { (pedometerData, error) in
        if let e = error {
            print(e.localizedDescription)
            return
        }
        guard let data = pedometerData else {
            return
        }
        let myStep = data.numberOfSteps
        self.stepLabel.text = "\(myStep)"


        var date = NSDate

        if date = 24:00  {
            self.myPedometer.stopUpdates()
        }

I am not aware of how each day's step counts could possibly be reset even though I have tried using an if statement to stop pedometer updates.

Also, X-Code keeps sending error messages for the last if statement saying "Cannot assign value of type 'int' to type 'NSDate.Type'.

I'm not able to answer your full question, but your immediate issues are that you are missing `()`: `var date = NSDate()` and you are using `=` in `if` when you should be using `==`'. Also, `24:00` isn't something you can compare a Date too. In Swift you should use `Date`, not `NSDate`. — vacawama, Jul 14 '19 at 12:30

Used this function to getting number of steps between 2 dates.

func queryPedometerData(from start: Date, 
                     to end: Date, 
            withHandler handler: @escaping CMPedometerHandler)
