Hey there :)

It's been long tried to reimburse my frontend skills by starting with this challenge.

I loved it and also made me to learn more on Date functions... Thanks FrontendMentor.io

Used a trick of minimizing use of a lot of If-else conditions... Check it out on my repo :)

Thanks in Advance for the HEART and trying to give a FEEDBACK :)

    Hi, Jumagobe,

    I see you are doing a very nice job, but I noticed some issues. First, when I choose the current year, I can select a month that's beyond the current month. Similarly, when I choose the current year and the current month, I can also choose a day that's beyond the current day. This can result in a negative age calculation.

    For example, if today is 10/21/2023, I can choose 12/30/2023, and that will return 0 years, -2 months, -9 days.

    So, I suggest creating some functions to validate the selected month and day.

    Happy coding, and if you need any assistance with this, I'm ready to help you.

How does the accessibility report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use axe-core to run an automated audit of your code.

This picks out common accessibility issues like not using semantic HTML and not having proper heading hierarchies, among others.

This automated audit is fairly surface level, so we encourage to you review the project and code in more detail with accessibility best practices in mind.

How does the CSS report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use stylelint to run an automated check on the CSS code.

We've added some of our own linting rules based on recommended best practices. These rules are prefixed with frontend-mentor/ which you'll see at the top of each issue in the report.

The report will audit all CSS, SCSS and Less files in your repository.

How does the HTML validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use html-validate to run an automated check on the HTML code.

The report picks out common HTML issues such as not using headings within section elements and incorrect nesting of elements, among others.

Note that the report can pick up “invalid” attributes, which some frameworks automatically add to the HTML. These attributes are crucial for how the frameworks function, although they’re technically not valid HTML. As such, some projects can show up with many HTML validation errors, which are benign and are a necessary part of the framework.

How does the JavaScript validation report work?

When a solution is submitted, we use eslint to run an automated check on the JavaScript code.

The report picks out common JavaScript issues such as not using semicolons and using var instead of let or const, among others.

The report will audit all JS and JSX files in your repository. We currently do not support Typescript or other frontend frameworks.
