NSDate Future Date

Hello guys, i had a problem regarding NSDate. I hope someone could help me. Here is my code .

NSTimeInterval secondsPerDay = (60 * 60 * 24 ) * 10;
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
// Add your code below

 NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
 NSDate *futureDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:secondsPerDay];

and the error said :

Bummer! Your date calculation seems incorrect. Are you using the product of 10 and 'secondsPerDay'?

How can i fix this??

your secondsPerDay calculation is not right. You dont multiple by 10 there. You multiply secondsPerDay by 10 in the dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow argument

NSTimeInterval secondsPerDay = 60 * 60 * 24;
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];

NSDate *today = [NSDate date];
NSDate *futureDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:secondsPerDay * 10];
