Why is this code turning up 'NaN'?

function person(name, age, Game){ this.name= name; this.age= age; this.favGame= Game; this.Year= BirthYear(); } function BirthYear() { return 2018 - this.age; } var Ed = new person(Ed, 28, "Majora's Mask"); var Ann = new person(Ann, 29, "Breath of the Wild"); document.write(Ed.Year);

Put the BirthYear function inside the person function to make it a member. function person(name, age, Game) { this.name = name; this.age = age; this.favGame = Game; this.Year = BirthYear(); function BirthYear() { return parseInt(new Date().getFullYear() - age); } } P.S. Please don't use too many words on question's tags, it's confusing and misleading.

The problem is caused by the BirthYear function. This is because it sits outside the person object. Specifically it is because this.age == window.age not person.age. Also use Ipangs Date type basrd solution as this will likely work better.
