determing person's age
Hi I am writing a small program in which I have to determine a person's age on the basis os of date of birth. code is given below
Date dt =new Date("10/12/79");
int year = dt.getYear();
int month = dt.getMonth();
int date = dt.getDate();
// Create a calendar object with the date of birth
Calendar dateOfBirth =new GregorianCalendar(year,month,date);
// Create a calendar object with today's date
Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();
// Get age based on year
int age = today.get(Calendar.YEAR) - dateOfBirth.get(Calendar.YEAR);
Problem is the getYear(),getMonth() and getDate() method of Date are deprecated. What do I do about it.Is there any work around. Thanks in advance.
