title: Swift - iOS - Dates and times in different format
body: <p>I am working for an application written in swift and i want to manipulate dates and times</p>
  <pre><code>let timestamp = NSDateFormatter.localizedStringFromDate(
      NSDate(),
      dateStyle: .ShortStyle,
      timeStyle: .ShortStyle
  )
  </code></pre>
  <p>returns</p>
  <pre><code>2/12/15, 11:27 PM
  </code></pre>
  <p>if I want date and time in a different format, for example the date in a European format like <code>dd/mm/yy</code> and the hours in the 24h format without AM and PM. Is there some function that i can use or i have to use N Strings to reorder the various elements?</p>
