Answer 4

I want it to be able to calculate someones exact age, their astronomical sign, and their generation.

Answer 5

but i would have to edit it every day.
is there a way for me to make a way for it to get the current day

Answer 6

Let me check.

Answer 7

Aqual, what happened to Repl.it?

It'snot working right.

Answer 12

Ok so if you want to grab the current date, there is a module you can import to your program for it to work. Take a look at this screenshot.

Answer 13

You just need to import the date module from the datetime library, and from there you need to assign a value to hold the current date. In doing so, it will always calculate the date based on your location.

Is there a way for me to calculate someones exact age

Answer 15

We are still looking. I and @InsatiableSuffering are still working on it.

Answer 16

Ok, Thank you.

Answer 17

So the way to go about it is pretty simple. We can still utilize the date module from the datetime library to calculate one's age precisely. For the short answer, I'll give you this screenshot. For the long answer, I'll go into detail as to the logic behind this.

Answer 18

Long answer: So what we can do here is create a function to calculate the age of an individual. First, we grab the values of the year, month, and day that a person was born, then use those as parameters for our birth value. By sending this in as our parameter, we now know the date we are supposed to compare today with. Now we just grab the value of today with

today = date.today()

Now here's where the logic might start to fall apart. Looking at the age variable, you can see that it has some weird mathematical operations being performed on it. The first part is pretty basic. This simply means that we are taking the year difference by grabbing the year values of both the variable today and the birthDate argument into account. That is the most basic part of calculating the year. Now in order to take month and day into account, we have to find the values of both. By using

(today.month, today.day)

It returns an integer value in which can now be compared to another integer value. We use the parenthesis to give priority to those functions. Now by separating out each of the values for comparison, we are ready to check the values for comparison. In my case, since today is May 26th and the birthdate I set is February 5th, we know that May 26th is farther into the year of 2020 than Feburary 5th. So the question here is: Is May 26th less than (or equal to, as it should be) February 5th? No. So essentially the less than (or equal to) operand performs an if statement within the age variable. Why this is important is because is if the statement is false, then a value of 0 will take the place of ((today.month, today.day) < (birth.month, birth.day)). Likewise, if the statement is true, then it returns a value of 1, saying that the date today has not reached May 26th. So now with that out of the way, our age variable looks like the following:

age = 2020 - 1969 - 0

Thus giving us our age of 51 in my example.
