Welcome to the Age Calculator page.
This page contains a brief description and implementation instructions for the project.
Project Description
Calculates a person’s age given their birth date. The program asks for birth year (and optionally month/day) and computes the current age using the datetime module.
Project Requirements
Python 3.x (built-in datetime module).
How to Run the Project
- Write a script (e.g.
age_calc.py) that usesdatetime.date.today()to get the current date and subtracts the birth date. - Run it:
python age_calc.py. Enter your birth year (and month/day if desired); it outputs your age in years (and optionally months).
Key Concepts Learned
- Datetime Module: Working with dates.
- Date Arithmetic: Calculating differences between dates (for age calculation).
- User Input: Parsing year, month, day.
Possible Extensions
- Calculate exact age in years, months, days.
- Determine weekday of birth, or time until next birthday.
- Validate input (e.g. no future dates).
