  Hey Benji,

  Your age calculator looks great!

  I noticed a small thing with the date accuracy for months other than the current one. The calculation might be off slightly in those cases.

  It seems the code needs an adjustment in how it validates birth dates with different months. Here's an idea:

  • Use a Date object to create a representation of the entered date (including year and month). Then, use getDate() to retrieve the correct number of days for that specific month and year (including leap year handling).

  This approach ensures accurate validation regardless of the month entered. I've included a code snippet to illustrate this solution:

    const inputDate = new Date(year, month - 1, day);
    if (
      inputDate.getDate() !== parseInt(day) ||
      inputDate.getMonth() + 1 !== parseInt(month) ||
      inputDate.getFullYear() !== parseInt(year)
    ) {
      return false;
    }
    return true;
  };
  

  Just a heads up about the date validation! Overall, your age calculator is a solid foundation. Keep up the good work! 🚀
