#Find the number of midnights between two dates Apple's prescribed way of getting the number of days between two days (using dateComponents) was being very unreliable for me so I had to come up with my own solution for finding the number of midnights between two dates.

NSDate startDate = ...;
NSDate endDate = ...;

NSTimeInterval startDays = ceil( [startDate timeIntervalSince1970] / 86400); // there are 86400 seconds in a day
NSTimeInterval endDays = ceil ( [endDate timeIntervalSince1970] / 86400);

int days = endDays - startDays;
