How do I calculate someone's age in Java?

Question

I want to return an age in years as an int in a Java method. What I have now is the following where getBirthDate() returns a Date object (with the birth date ;-)):

Answer 1

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.time.Period;

public class AgeCalculator1 {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        LocalDate start = LocalDate.of(1970, 2, 23);
        LocalDate end = LocalDate.now(ZoneId.systemDefault());

        Period p = Period.between(start, end);
        //The output of the program is :
        //45 years 6 months and 6 days.
        System.out.print(p.getYears() + " year" + (p.getYears() > 1 ? "s " : " ") );
        System.out.print(p.getMonths() + " month" + (p.getMonths() > 1 ? "s and " : " and ") );
        System.out.print(p.getDays() + " day" + (p.getDays() > 1 ? "s.\n" : ".\n") );
    }//method main ends here.
}
