Now if I can just make believe this is C++ and make it a little more realistic :). from datetime import date birth_day = date(1977, 6, 9) right_now = date.today() if (right_now.month >= birth_day.month) & (right_now.day >= birth_day.day): age = right_now.year - birth_day.year age = 30; enjoy :). Happy Birthday. Now if I can just make believe this is C++ and make it a little more realistic :) .

from datetime import date

birth_day = date(1977, 6, 9)
right_now = date.today()

if (right_now.month >= birth_day.month) & (right_now.day >= birth_day.day):
age = right_now.year – birth_day.year

age = 30;

enjoy :) .
