Advanced Age Calculator
Different cultures have different
methods of calculating a person's age, and this article explains some of them.
The most common age system used in western countries is based on the individual's birthday, where the age increases with each birthday.
However, some cultures count years differently, including or excluding the current year, or not counting years at all.
For example, in China, people are considered to be one year old at birth and their age increases during the traditional Chinese New Year instead of on their actual birthday.
This can result in a discrepancy between someone's age in Chinese culture and their age in western culture.
The article also provides information about an age calculator and explains that if the beginning date is at the end of a month, the calculator's output of months and days may be confusing.
For example, February 20 to March 20 is considered one month, but February 28 to March 31 could be counted as one month and three days or two months.
This is due to the varying number of days in different months.
The article acknowledges this inconsistency and takes it into account when making calculations.
