Hi Expert!

Given a DateTime representing a person's birthday, how do I calculate their age?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeet!

For some reason Jeff's code didn't seem simple enough. To me this seems simpler and easier to understand:

DateTime today = DateTime.Today;

int age = today.Year - bday.Year;

if (bday > today.AddYears(-age)) age--;
