A few notes:

  • Apparently the teachers thought it would be a good idea to do age and date of birth for me. It seems all I have to do is integrate everything.
from datetime import date

def calculate_age(born):
    today = date.today()
    return today.year - born.year - ((today.month, today.day) < (born.month, born.day))

dob = date(2004, 12, 31)
age = calculate_age(dob)
print(age)
18
