How do you compare two dates in Swift?

Hi Guys.

I'm wanting to compare dates in Swift.

I'm wanting it to be like a birthday countdown ideally.

So it would need to:

check what today's date is then compare it to the saved date returning something like "its only X days until your birthday"

Only new to swift & XCode (though ive been watching all the videos)

I'm not 100% but think it should be using the NSCalendar?

Hope you can help

Many thanks

Dan
