Can someone check my code? Spot any errors or tell me how to make it more efficient

It's an age calculator that I made, I'm sure that there are better ways to do so but I just want to see if I made any mistakes or if I can improve in some areas. EDIT: some things to note: - I just copy/pasted the code into my code playground and saved it there. So just click my profile to see - I chose to just make the user type the month's number to save me work as this code was just a little challenge I set for myself

Instead of asking user to enter more lines of input, I would choose today date automatically by import time t =time.localtime() print(t.tm_mday, t.tm_mon,t. tm_year) And ask user to enter date in one single input and split it. Good code.. For code improvements, use your feed post..

Thank you both! Having the current time automatically there is very helpful for efficiency. I updated my code to utilize that and also have only one input (using the yyyy/mm/dd). There is also way more that I will go through from your comments, but for now I decided to just go off from what I already know instead of just copying your own code. Here is my 2nd iteration (I will probably make a 3rd and 4th and so on, once reading some more through your comments and also learning more things in python) : # Age Calculator import time t = time.localtime() a = input('enter birth date (yyyy/mm/dd): ') birthYear = int(a[:4]) birthMonth = int(a[5:7]) birthDay = int(a[8:10]) x = f'you are {t.tm_year - birthYear} years old' y = f'you are {t.tm_year - (birthYear + 1)} years old' if birthMonth - t.tm_mon == 0: if birthDay - t.tm_mday == 0: print(x) if birthDay - t.tm_mday < 0: print(x) if birthDay - t.tm_mday > 0: print(y) elif birthMonth - t.tm_mon < 0: print(x) else: print(y)
