I am trying to make a method that will calculate the age of a person. I want the calculation to be done under the second public
static
int
What is SimpleDate ? Anyway here something to get you started
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.Calendar;
public class CalcAge {
public static void main(String [] args) {
// remember ... months are 0-based : jan=0 feb=1 ...
System.out.println
("1962-11-11 : " + age(1962,10,11));
System.out.println
("1999-12-03 : " + age(1999,11,3));
}
private static int age(int y, int m, int d) {
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(y, m, d);
Calendar now = new GregorianCalendar();
int res = now.get(Calendar.YEAR) - cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
if((cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) > now.get(Calendar.MONTH))
|| (cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) == now.get(Calendar.MONTH)
&& cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) > now.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)))
{
res--;
}
return res;
}
}
