给定代表某人生日的DateTime,我如何计算他们的年龄(以年为单位)?

以下方法(从.NET类DateDiff的时间段库中提取)考虑区域性信息的日历:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
private static int YearDiff( DateTime date1, DateTime date2 )
{
  return YearDiff( date1, date2, DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Calendar );
} // YearDiff

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
private static int YearDiff( DateTime date1, DateTime date2, Calendar calendar )
{
  if ( date1.Equals( date2 ) )
  {
    return 0;
  }

  int year1 = calendar.GetYear( date1 );
  int month1 = calendar.GetMonth( date1 );
  int year2 = calendar.GetYear( date2 );
  int month2 = calendar.GetMonth( date2 );

  // find the the day to compare
  int compareDay = date2.Day;
  int compareDaysPerMonth = calendar.GetDaysInMonth( year1, month1 );
  if ( compareDay > compareDaysPerMonth )
  {
    compareDay = compareDaysPerMonth;
  }

  // build the compare date
  DateTime compareDate = new DateTime( year1, month2, compareDay,
    date2.Hour, date2.Minute, date2.Second, date2.Millisecond );
  if ( date2 > date1 )
  {
    if ( compareDate < date1 )
    {
      compareDate = compareDate.AddYears( 1 );
    }
  }
  else
  {
    if ( compareDate > date1 )
    {
      compareDate = compareDate.AddYears( -1 );
    }
  }
  return year2 - calendar.GetYear( compareDate );
} // YearDiff

用法:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
public void CalculateAgeSamples()
{
  PrintAge( new DateTime( 2000, 02, 29 ), new DateTime( 2009, 02, 28 ) );
  // > Birthdate=29.02.2000, Age at 28.02.2009 is 8 years
  PrintAge( new DateTime( 2000, 02, 29 ), new DateTime( 2012, 02, 28 ) );
  // > Birthdate=29.02.2000, Age at 28.02.2012 is 11 years
} // CalculateAgeSamples

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
public void PrintAge( DateTime birthDate, DateTime moment )
{
  Console.WriteLine( "Birthdate={0:d}, Age at {1:d} is {2} years", birthDate, moment, YearDiff( birthDate, moment ) );
} // PrintAge

MSDN帮助为什么没有告诉您这一点?看起来很明显:

System.DateTime birthTime = AskTheUser(myUser); // :-)
System.DateTime now = System.DateTime.Now;
System.TimeSpan age = now - birthTime; // As simple as that
double ageInDays = age.TotalDays; // Will you convert to whatever you want yourself?
public string GetAge(this DateTime birthdate, string ageStrinFormat = null)
{
    var date = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(-birthdate.Month).AddDays(-birthdate.Day);
    return string.Format(ageStrinFormat ?? "{0}/{1}/{2}",
        (date.Year - birthdate.Year), date.Month, date.Day);
}

一句话的回答:

DateTime dateOfBirth = Convert.ToDateTime("01/16/1990");
var age = ((DateTime.Now - dateOfBirth).Days) / 365;

只需使用:

(DateTime.Now - myDate).TotalHours / 8766.0

当前日期-myDate=TimeSpan,获取总小时数并除以每年的总小时数,得到确切的年龄/月/日。。。

这不是一个直接的答案,但更多的是从准科学的角度对当前问题进行哲学推理。

我认为,这个问题并没有具体说明衡量年龄的单位或文化,大多数答案似乎都假设了一个整数年表示。时间的国际单位制单位是秒,因此正确的通用答案应该是(当然,假设标准化日期时间,不考虑相对论效应):

var lifeInSeconds = (DateTime.Now.Ticks - then.Ticks)/TickFactor;

在基督教以年计算年龄的方法中:

var then = ... // Then, in this case the birthday
var now = DateTime.UtcNow;
int age = now.Year - then.Year;
if (now.AddYears(-age) < then) age--;

在金融领域,当计算通常被称为日计数分数(Day Count Fraction)的东西时,也存在类似的问题,该分数大致是给定时期的年数。年龄问题确实是一个衡量时间的问题。

实际/实际(正确计算所有天数)惯例示例:

DateTime start, end = .... // Whatever, assume start is before end

double startYearContribution = 1 - (double) start.DayOfYear / (double) (DateTime.IsLeapYear(start.Year) ? 366 : 365);
double endYearContribution = (double)end.DayOfYear / (double)(DateTime.IsLeapYear(end.Year) ? 366 : 365);
double middleContribution = (double) (end.Year - start.Year - 1);

double DCF = startYearContribution + endYearContribution + middleContribution;

另一种很常见的衡量时间的方法通常是“序列化”(命名这一日期惯例的家伙一定是认真的“trippin”):

DateTime start, end = .... // Whatever, assume start is before end
int days = (end - start).Days;

我想知道,在相对论年龄(以秒为单位)变得比迄今为止地球围绕太阳周期的粗略近似更有用之前,我们还需要多长时间:)或者换句话说,当一个周期必须给定一个位置或一个表示其自身运动的函数才能有效时:)
