Question

My homework question:

Create a script to receive the birth date and return the user\'s age

I tried this:

ano_atual =         


        

Answer 1

You probably want raw_input instead of input. input is equivalent to eval(raw_input()) in python2.x. So your string is being cast to an integer. just like:

a=30/6/2012

would be. (In this case, a is the result of 30 divided by 6 divided by 2012 which is 0 because of integer division in python 2.)
