Task 3.2 - Using numerical input#

There are multiple ways you can use numerical input through JavaScript. For this task, you will need to use the getFullYear() method.

The getFullYear() method allows you to get the full year of a date of your choosing (this can be the current year or another year). In order to current year, you will need to the following block of code:

var d = new Date();
var year = d.getFullYear();

Here’s what you need to do:

  • Determine the age of the user given the user input and the code above.
