function Person(dob) {
// [1] new Date(dateString)
this.birthday = new Date(dob); // transform birthday in date-object
this.calculateAge = function() {
// diff = now (in ms) - birthday (in ms)
// diff = age in ms
const diff = Date.now() - this.birthday.getTime();

// check: 1989 = 1970 + 19
console.log(ageDate.getUTCFullYear()); // 1989
// age = year if person was born in 1970 (= 1989) - 1970 = 19
