 Program for Age Calculator
Aim

The aim of this microproject is to develop an age calculator program that accurately computes
a user's age based on their date of birth. The program will take input in the format of
`YYYY/MM/DD`, calculate the age in years.

Course Outcomes
1. Develop programs to handle events in Java Programming.

2. Develop Programs using GUI Frameworks.

Proposed Methodology
● First, Search the topic for which you want to make a project, and then propose it to the
Subject In charge.
● After finalizing the topic, start gathering the information about your project.
● For Program Execution, write the source code of your program in any suitable IDE.
● Recheck the program with the subject in charge.
● Now, it’s time to make a report of your Selected Project.

 Program for Age Calculator
Rationale
The Age Calculator project in Java serves as an excellent practical exercise for students, combining
essential programming concepts with real-world applications. It focuses on using Java's `java.time`
package, particularly `LocalDate` and `Period`, to handle date manipulation and calculations. This
project teaches user input validation and error handling through the `Scanner` class, enabling students
to manage incorrect inputs and exceptions like `DateTimeParseException`. Additionally, by
implementing logic to check for future dates, students learn to create robust and user-friendly
applications. Overall, the project reinforces foundational programming skills while emphasizing the
importance of developing efficient, error-free, and user-centric software.

Literature
The literature surrounding age calculation programs emphasizes their significance in various
applications across fields such as healthcare, finance, and event planning. Many studies highlight the
importance of accurate date handling and user input validation in programming, particularly in
languages like Java that offer robust libraries for date manipulation, such as the `java.time` package
introduced in Java 8. Research also explores the challenges and best practices in managing time-
related data, including the handling of leap years and time zones, which are critical for ensuring
precise calculations. Additionally, literature on user experience underscores the need for intuitive
interfaces that guide users in entering their birthdates correctly, thereby reducing errors and enhancing
satisfaction. Overall, the existing body of work supports the development of age calculators as
valuable tools that reinforce both technical programming skills and user-centered design principles.

date.");

}
} catch (DateTimeParseException e) {
// Handle invalid date format
System.out.println("Error: Invalid date format. Please enter the date in the format
YYYY-MM-DD.");
}

// Ask the user if they want to calculate another age or exit

System.out.print("Do you want to calculate another age? (yes to continue, no to exit): ");
String userChoice = scanner.nextLine().trim().toLowerCase();

if (userChoice.equals("no")) {
keepRunning = false; // Exit the loop
} else if (!userChoice.equals("yes")) {
System.out.println("Invalid choice, exiting the program.");
keepRunning = false; // Exit if input is neither 'yes' nor 'no'
}
}

// Close the scanner resource

 scanner.close();
System.out.println("Program exited.");
}

// The method calculates the age

public static int calculateAge(LocalDate dob)
{
// Obtain the current date
LocalDate curDate = LocalDate.now();

// Calculate and return the difference in years

if (dob != null && curDate != null) {
return Period.between(dob, curDate).getYears();
} else {
return 0;
}
}
}
