Hello,
I am a funeral director trying to write a small program that calculates
the number of years, months and days a person has lived by entering the
year, month and day of their birth. This is what I have so far:
#---------------------
from time import *
local = localtime()
print "Enter the year of birth:"; y = input()
print "Enter the month of birth:"; m = input()
print "Enter the day of birth:"; d = input()
age = y,m,d
print age
print local
#----------------------
The output looks similiar to this:
(1934, 2, 7)
(2003, 7, 5, 13, 20, 0, 5, 186, 1)
My problem is that localtime is a list of 9 integers while age is a list
of 3 integers. Is it possible to make localtime() only return the first
3 integers? If so, how would I then do calculations on the two lists'
individual parts? For example, how would I instruct localtime() to
subtract the first integer from age's list from the first intger in its
own list (2003 - 1934)?
Also, I am new to python, but I like it a lot and have picked it up
quickly. If my approach to this solving this problem is completely
wrong, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!!!
