I'm trying to get the age of someone in Years and/or months and/or days.
I've tried:
date_period dp(day_clock::local_day(), birthdate); cout << "You are " << dp.length() << " old" << endl;
But that only calculates days. Is there a static function available that will turn days into months. and days into years?
I don't know the answer to that question, but it would have to be a function of not only the age in days but also the birth date. A person born on 1 January 2003 is 365 days old on their first birthday, while someone born on 1 January 2004 is 366 days old on their first birthday. On their first birthdays, each of them is a year old, but the second person is a day older than the first. So simply dividing by 365 and using the remainder for the days in the part-year would not be sufficient.
