I have created a function as given below that calculates the age in years, month and days based on supplied date of birth. I have noticed that for some dates I do not get the correct results. Not able to point out why this is happening
The below given link will be helpful in cross checking the age calculated by the above function
AGE
A sample date: 14th January, 1959. The above code returns
49years, 11 months and 18 days
But the calculated age from the link [which is correct] is
50years, 4 months and 12 days
I have also tried replacing 0 with NSWrapCalendarComponents in the options but still the same discrepancy
Can anybody point out the reason for this?
Thanks

Code:
NSDate *startDate = [NSDate dateWithNaturalLanguageString:dateofbirth locale:[NSLocale currentLocale] ];
NSDate *endDate = [NSDate date] ;
NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
NSUInteger unitFlags = NSYearCalendarUnit | NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit;
NSDateComponents *components = [gregorian components:unitFlags
fromDate:startDate
toDate:endDate options:0];
NSInteger years = [components year];
NSInteger months = [components month];
NSInteger days = [components day];
NSString* yearsPassed = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%dy", years];
NSString* monthsPassed = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%dm", months];
NSString* daysPassed = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%dd", days];AGE
