get the date 5 months ago in swift

To get the date 5 months ago in Swift, you can use the Calendar and DateComponents classes to subtract 5 months from the current date. Here's an example code snippet:

main.swift
let calendar = Calendar.current
var dateComponents = DateComponents()
dateComponents.month = -5
if let date = calendar.date(byAdding: dateComponents, to: Date()) {
    print(date)
}

In this example, we first create an instance of the Calendar class. We then create an instance of DateComponents and set the month property to -5, indicating that we want to subtract 5 months. We then use the date(byAdding:to:) method of the Calendar class to subtract the specified number of months from the current date. Finally, we print out the resulting date.

Note that the date(byAdding:to:) method returns an optional Date object, so we use optional binding (if let) to safely unwrap the result.
