I'm having this problem in Code Challenge - Formatting Dates with NSDateFormatter.
How do I get 10 days in advance using NSDate object? I've tried to use dateByAddingTimeInterval: but still to no avail. Here's the error snapshot
I really appreciate for the help!

248 PointsHey, it looks like we solved the problem! For all others that are stuck on this, dateByAddingTimeInterval is an instance method, and so you have to call it on an instance variable, not on the class.
