//direct age calculation
LocalDate l = LocalDate.of(1998, 04, 23); //specify year, month, date directly

Period diff = Period.between(l, now); //difference between the dates is calculated
System.out.println(diff.getYears() + "years" + diff.getMonths() + "months" + diff.getDays() + "days");
//using Calendar Object
String s = "1994/06/23";

Date d = sdf.parse(s);
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime(d);

int date = c.get(Calendar.DATE);
LocalDate l1 = LocalDate.of(year, month, date);
LocalDate now1 = LocalDate.now();
Period diff1 = Period.between(l1, now1);
System.out.println("age:" + diff1.getYears() + "years");
