How do I calculate someone’s age in Java?

by

JDK 8 makes this easy and elegant:

public class AgeCalculator {

    public static int calculateAge(LocalDate birthDate, LocalDate currentDate) {
        if ((birthDate != null) && (currentDate != null)) {
            return Period.between(birthDate, currentDate).getYears();
        } else {
            return 0;
        }
    }
}

A JUnit test to demonstrate its use: 

public class AgeCalculatorTest {

    @Test
    public void testCalculateAge_Success() {
        // setup
        LocalDate birthDate = LocalDate.of(1961, 5, 17);
        // exercise
        int actual = AgeCalculator.calculateAge(birthDate, LocalDate.of(2016, 7, 12));
        // assert
        Assert.assertEquals(55, actual);
    }
}

Everyone should be using JDK 8 by now. All earlier versions have passed the end of their support lives.
