给定代表某人生日的DateTime,我如何计算他们的年龄(以年为单位)?


当前回答

以下是使用DateTimeOffset和手动数学的答案:

var diff = DateTimeOffset.Now - dateOfBirth;
var sinceEpoch = DateTimeOffset.UnixEpoch + diff;

return sinceEpoch.Year - 1970;

以下方法(从.NET类DateDiff的时间段库中提取)考虑区域性信息的日历:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
private static int YearDiff( DateTime date1, DateTime date2 )
{
  return YearDiff( date1, date2, DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.Calendar );
} // YearDiff

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
private static int YearDiff( DateTime date1, DateTime date2, Calendar calendar )
{
  if ( date1.Equals( date2 ) )
  {
    return 0;
  }

  int year1 = calendar.GetYear( date1 );
  int month1 = calendar.GetMonth( date1 );
  int year2 = calendar.GetYear( date2 );
  int month2 = calendar.GetMonth( date2 );

  // find the the day to compare
  int compareDay = date2.Day;
  int compareDaysPerMonth = calendar.GetDaysInMonth( year1, month1 );
  if ( compareDay > compareDaysPerMonth )
  {
    compareDay = compareDaysPerMonth;
  }

  // build the compare date
  DateTime compareDate = new DateTime( year1, month2, compareDay,
    date2.Hour, date2.Minute, date2.Second, date2.Millisecond );
  if ( date2 > date1 )
  {
    if ( compareDate < date1 )
    {
      compareDate = compareDate.AddYears( 1 );
    }
  }
  else
  {
    if ( compareDate > date1 )
    {
      compareDate = compareDate.AddYears( -1 );
    }
  }
  return year2 - calendar.GetYear( compareDate );
} // YearDiff

用法:

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
public void CalculateAgeSamples()
{
  PrintAge( new DateTime( 2000, 02, 29 ), new DateTime( 2009, 02, 28 ) );
  // > Birthdate=29.02.2000, Age at 28.02.2009 is 8 years
  PrintAge( new DateTime( 2000, 02, 29 ), new DateTime( 2012, 02, 28 ) );
  // > Birthdate=29.02.2000, Age at 28.02.2012 is 11 years
} // CalculateAgeSamples

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
public void PrintAge( DateTime birthDate, DateTime moment )
{
  Console.WriteLine( "Birthdate={0:d}, Age at {1:d} is {2} years", birthDate, moment, YearDiff( birthDate, moment ) );
} // PrintAge

2需要解决的主要问题有:

1.计算准确年龄-以年、月、日等为单位。

2.计算人们普遍认为的年龄——人们通常不关心自己到底多大,他们只关心自己当年的生日是什么时候。


1的解决方案显而易见:

DateTime birth = DateTime.Parse("1.1.2000");
DateTime today = DateTime.Today;     //we usually don't care about birth time
TimeSpan age = today - birth;        //.NET FCL should guarantee this as precise
double ageInDays = age.TotalDays;    //total number of days ... also precise
double daysInYear = 365.2425;        //statistical value for 400 years
double ageInYears = ageInDays / daysInYear;  //can be shifted ... not so precise

2的解决方案在确定总年龄时并不那么精确,但人们认为它是精确的。当人们“手动”计算年龄时,通常也会使用它:

DateTime birth = DateTime.Parse("1.1.2000");
DateTime today = DateTime.Today;
int age = today.Year - birth.Year;    //people perceive their age in years

if (today.Month < birth.Month ||
   ((today.Month == birth.Month) && (today.Day < birth.Day)))
{
  age--;  //birthday in current year not yet reached, we are 1 year younger ;)
          //+ no birthday for 29.2. guys ... sorry, just wrong date for birth
}

注释2.:

这是我的首选解决方案我们不能使用DateTime.DayOfYear或TimeSpans,因为它们会在闰年中改变天数为了可读性,我只增加了几行

还有一个提示。。。我将为它创建两个静态重载方法,一个用于通用,另一个用于使用友好:

public static int GetAge(DateTime bithDay, DateTime today) 
{ 
  //chosen solution method body
}

public static int GetAge(DateTime birthDay) 
{ 
  return GetAge(birthDay, DateTime.Now);
}

人们可以这样计算“年龄”(即“西方人”的方式):

public static int AgeInYears(this System.DateTime source, System.DateTime target)
  => target.Year - source.Year is int age && age > 0 && source.AddYears(age) > target ? age - 1 : age < 0 && source.AddYears(age) < target ? age + 1 : age;

如果时间方向为“负”,则年龄也将为负。

可以添加一个分数,代表从目标到下一个生日的累计年龄:

public static double AgeInTotalYears(this System.DateTime source, System.DateTime target)
{
  var sign = (source <= target ? 1 : -1);

  var ageInYears = AgeInYears(source, target); // The method above.

  var last = source.AddYears(ageInYears);
  var next = source.AddYears(ageInYears + sign);

  var fractionalAge = (double)(target - last).Ticks / (double)(next - last).Ticks * sign;

  return ageInYears + fractionalAge;
}

分数是过去的时间(从上一个生日到下一个生日)与总时间的比率。

无论是向前还是向后,这两种方法都以相同的方式工作。

我们是否需要考虑小于1岁的人?作为中国文化,我们将小婴儿的年龄描述为2个月或4周。

下面是我的实现,它不像我想象的那么简单,尤其是处理2/28这样的日期。

public static string HowOld(DateTime birthday, DateTime now)
{
    if (now < birthday)
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("birthday must be less than now.");

    TimeSpan diff = now - birthday;
    int diffDays = (int)diff.TotalDays;

    if (diffDays > 7)//year, month and week
    {
        int age = now.Year - birthday.Year;

        if (birthday > now.AddYears(-age))
            age--;

        if (age > 0)
        {
            return age + (age > 1 ? " years" : " year");
        }
        else
        {// month and week
            DateTime d = birthday;
            int diffMonth = 1;

            while (d.AddMonths(diffMonth) <= now)
            {
                diffMonth++;
            }

            age = diffMonth-1;

            if (age == 1 && d.Day > now.Day)
                age--;

            if (age > 0)
            {
                return age + (age > 1 ? " months" : " month");
            }
            else
            {
                age = diffDays / 7;
                return age + (age > 1 ? " weeks" : " week");
            }
        }
    }
    else if (diffDays > 0)
    {
        int age = diffDays;
        return age + (age > 1 ? " days" : " day");
    }
    else
    {
        int age = diffDays;
        return "just born";
    }
}

此实现已通过以下测试用例。

    Assert.AreEqual("5 days", age);

    age = HowOld(new DateTime(2012, 11, 29), new DateTime(2012, 11, 30));
    Assert.AreEqual("1 day", age);

    age = HowOld(new DateTime(2012, 11, 30), new DateTime(2012, 11, 30));
    Assert.AreEqual("just born", age);

    age = HowOld(new DateTime(2000, 2, 29), new DateTime(2009, 2, 28));
    Assert.AreEqual("8 years", age);

    age = HowOld(new DateTime(2000, 2, 29), new DateTime(2009, 3, 1));
    Assert.AreEqual("9 years", age);

    Exception e = null;

    try
    {
        age = HowOld(new DateTime(2012, 12, 1), new DateTime(2012, 11, 30));
    }
    catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException ex)
    {
        e = ex;
    }

    Assert.IsTrue(e != null);
}

希望这有帮助。

这不是一个直接的答案,但更多的是从准科学的角度对当前问题进行哲学推理。

我认为,这个问题并没有具体说明衡量年龄的单位或文化,大多数答案似乎都假设了一个整数年表示。时间的国际单位制单位是秒,因此正确的通用答案应该是(当然,假设标准化日期时间,不考虑相对论效应):

var lifeInSeconds = (DateTime.Now.Ticks - then.Ticks)/TickFactor;

在基督教以年计算年龄的方法中:

var then = ... // Then, in this case the birthday
var now = DateTime.UtcNow;
int age = now.Year - then.Year;
if (now.AddYears(-age) < then) age--;

在金融领域,当计算通常被称为日计数分数(Day Count Fraction)的东西时,也存在类似的问题,该分数大致是给定时期的年数。年龄问题确实是一个衡量时间的问题。

实际/实际(正确计算所有天数)惯例示例:

DateTime start, end = .... // Whatever, assume start is before end

double startYearContribution = 1 - (double) start.DayOfYear / (double) (DateTime.IsLeapYear(start.Year) ? 366 : 365);
double endYearContribution = (double)end.DayOfYear / (double)(DateTime.IsLeapYear(end.Year) ? 366 : 365);
double middleContribution = (double) (end.Year - start.Year - 1);

double DCF = startYearContribution + endYearContribution + middleContribution;

另一种很常见的衡量时间的方法通常是“序列化”(命名这一日期惯例的家伙一定是认真的“trippin”):

DateTime start, end = .... // Whatever, assume start is before end
int days = (end - start).Days;

我想知道,在相对论年龄(以秒为单位)变得比迄今为止地球围绕太阳周期的粗略近似更有用之前,我们还需要多长时间:)或者换句话说,当一个周期必须给定一个位置或一个表示其自身运动的函数才能有效时:)
