#' Age in years of individuals
#'
#' Calculates age in years based on a reference date, which is the sytem date at default.
#' @inheritSection lifecycle Stable lifecycle
#' @param x date(s), will be coerced with [as.POSIXlt()]
#' @param reference reference date(s) (defaults to today), will be coerced with [as.POSIXlt()]
#' @param exact a logical to indicate whether age calculation should be exact, i.e. with decimals. It divides the number of days of [year-to-date](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year-to-date) (YTD) of `x` by the number of days in the year of `reference` (either 365 or 366).
#' @param na.rm a logical to indicate whether missing values should be removed
#' @param ... arguments passed on to [as.POSIXlt()], such as `origin`
#' @details Ages below 0 will be returned as `NA` with a warning. Ages above 120 will only give a warning.
#' @return An [integer] (no decimals) if `exact = FALSE`, a [double] (with decimals) otherwise
#' @seealso To split ages into groups, use the [age_groups()] function.

#' Split ages into age groups
#'
#' Split ages into age groups defined by the `split` argument. This allows for easier demographic (antimicrobial resistance) analysis.
#' @inheritSection lifecycle Stable lifecycle
#' @param x age, e.g. calculated with [age()]
#' @param split_at values to split `x` at, defaults to age groups 0-11, 12-24, 25-54, 55-74 and 75+. See Details.
#' @param na.rm a [logical] to indicate whether missing values should be removed
#' @details To split ages, the input for the `split_at` argument can be:
#' 
#' * A numeric vector. A value of e.g. `c(10, 20)` will split `x` on 0-9, 10-19 and 20+. A value of only `50` will split `x` on 0-49 and 50+.
#'   The default is to split on young children (0-11), youth (12-24), young adults (25-54), middle-aged adults (55-74) and elderly (75+).
#' * A character:
#'   - `"children"` or `"kids"`, equivalent of: `c(0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 13, 18)`. This will split on 0, 1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-12, 13-17 and 18+.
#'   - `"elderly"` or `"seniors"`, equivalent of: `c(65, 75, 85)`. This will split on 0-64, 65-74, 75-84, 85+.
#'   - `"fives"`, equivalent of: `1:20 * 5`. This will split on 0-4, 5-9, ..., 95-99, 100+.
#'   - `"tens"`, equivalent of: `1:10 * 10`. This will split on 0-9, 10-19, ..., 90-99, 100+.
#' @return Ordered [factor]
#' @seealso To determine ages, based on one or more reference dates, use the [age()] function.
