\usage{
|
|
age(x, reference = Sys.Date(), exact = FALSE)
|
|
}
|
|
\arguments{
|
|
\item{x}{date(s), will be coerced with \code{\link{as.POSIXlt}}}
|
|
|
|
\item{reference}{reference date(s) (defaults to today), will be coerced with \code{\link{as.POSIXlt}} and cannot be lower than \code{x}}
|
|
|
|
\item{exact}{a logical to indicate whether age calculation should be exact, i.e. with decimals. It divides the number of days of \href{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year-to-date}{year-to-date} (YTD) of \code{x} by the number of days in a year of \code{reference} (either 365 or 366).}
|
|
}
|
|
\value{
|
|
An integer (no decimals) if \code{exact = FALSE}, a double (with decimals) otherwise
|
|
}
|
|
\description{
|
|
Calculates age in years based on a reference date, which is the sytem date at default.
