Someone on the AppleScript Studio Mailing List wanted to know how to get an age; here’s my take:
set birthday to date "Thursday, 1 April 1976 12:00:00 AM"
set age to (year of (current date)) - (year of birthday)
if month of (current date) < month of birthday then
set age to age - 1
else if month of (current date) = month of birthday then
if day of (current date) < day of birthday then
set age to age - 1
end if
end if get age
set age to (year of (current date)) - (year of birthday)
if month of (current date) < month of birthday then
set age to age - 1
else if month of (current date) = month of birthday then
if day of (current date) < day of birthday then
set age to age - 1
end if
end if get age
