Re: trying to do a date of birth comparison.

hi,

here is a simple program that gives you your age month and day...give the date of birth as an argument though...

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
 
public class Age {
 
  public Age(long birthday) {
    Calendar age = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.getDefault());
    age.setTimeInMillis(Math.abs(birthday-System.currentTimeMillis()));
    System.out.println("Your are "+(age.get(Calendar.YEAR)-1970)+" years, "+age.get(Calendar.MONTH)+" month, "+age.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)+" days "+(System.currentTimeMillis()-birthday<0 ?"Not Born Yet" :"Old")+".");
  }
 
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    if (args.length==0) {
      System.out.println("Usage:\n java Age dd/mm/yyyy\nWhere:\n dd - date\n mm - month\n yyyy - year");
    } else {
      try {
        final Date birthday = dateFormatter.parse(args[0]);
        System.out.println("Your birthday is " + dateFormatter.format(birthday));
        final Age myAge = new Age(birthday.getTime());
      } catch (ParseException e) {
        System.out.println("Error parsing your birthday.");
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
  }
 
}
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;

public class Age {

  public Age(long birthday) {
    Calendar age = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.getDefault());
    age.setTimeInMillis(Math.abs(birthday-System.currentTimeMillis()));
    System.out.println("Your are "+(age.get(Calendar.YEAR)-1970)+" years, "+age.get(Calendar.MONTH)+" month, "+age.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)+" days "+(System.currentTimeMillis()-birthday<0 ?"Not Born Yet" :"Old")+".");
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    if (args.length==0) {
      System.out.println("Usage:\n java Age dd/mm/yyyy\nWhere:\n dd - date\n mm - month\n yyyy - year");
    } else {
      try {
        final Date birthday = dateFormatter.parse(args[0]);
        System.out.println("Your birthday is " + dateFormatter.format(birthday));
        final Age myAge = new Age(birthday.getTime());
      } catch (ParseException e) {
        System.out.println("Error parsing your birthday.");
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
  }
