How to Use the Year Calculator

- It multiplies the age in years by 365.25 (the average number of days in a year accounting for leap years) to get the age in days.
Limitations
- The calculator uses the current year as entered by the user, so ensure to enter the accurate current year.
- Leap years are approximated in the days calculation by averaging out to 365.25 days a year.
