Write a Turing program which asks the user to enter the current date (use 3 separate variables, i.e. one for day, one for month, one for year), asks the user for their birth date, and then calculates and reports how old they are (in years only). Remember to account for the situation where they have not yet had their birthday this year. Include a proper header and full documentation. how would i do this i really need help!! |

What's the first thing the program does? Maybe you should start with that. |

That should work, but you will need to figure out if they have had their birthday this year. How would you go about that? Imagine if I put in my birthday as December 25th. How would you go about seeing if that birthday has passed? An easy way to do this is to figure it out on paper, how can you explain to someone who is completely incompetent how to solve this problem? |
