Solution retrospective


Calculating age where the day of birth value is higher than the current day value.

I was struggling to get a valid age when the day of birth was bigger than the current day value. Ex: if current day is 27 and the day of birth was 28 I was getting -1 days as result, if 29 result -2, if 30 result -3 etc. How did you managed this issue if you had it? The way I resolved it is to get the last day from the previous month and to subtract the day value that initially resulted.

if (ageInDays < 0) {
// Adjusting the age in months and days when the birthdate's day is greater than the current date's day
ageInMonths -= 1;
const lastMonthDate = new Date(
currentDate.getFullYear(),
currentDate.getMonth(),
0
); // This gets the last day from the previous month by adding 0 as para for day
ageInDays += lastMonthDate.getDate();
Code

    I just subtracted 1 month from the month input and then add: 30 days to day input if month input is April, June, September, November, 28 days if month February, 29 if day and month is 29 and February respectively, 31 if any other month. Your solution is really good too.

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.
