Age Finder

Instructions

Create a class AgeFinder that provides a method to calculate the age from a given date. The date will be provided in the format yyyy-MM-dd.

In case of any error the method calculateAge should return -1

💡 Have you ever seen someone with a negative age???

Expected Class

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.Period;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class AgeFinder {
    public int calculateAge(String date) {
        // Implementation to calculate the age from the given date
    }
}

Usage

Here is a possible ExerciseRunner.java to test your class:

public class ExerciseRunner {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        AgeFinder AgeFinder = new AgeFinder();

        // Test case 1
        String date1 = "2000-01-01";
        System.out.println("Age: " + AgeFinder.calculateAge(date1));

        // Test case 2
        String date2 = "1990-06-15";
        System.out.println("Age: " + AgeFinder.calculateAge(date2));

        // Test case 3
        String date3 = "2010-12-25";
        System.out.println("Age: " + AgeFinder.calculateAge(date3));
    }
}
