Precise Age Calculation

``javascript function calculateAge(birthDate, targetDate = new Date()) { const birth = new Date(birthDate); const target = new Date(targetDate);

let years = target.getFullYear() - birth.getFullYear(); let months = target.getMonth() - birth.getMonth(); let days = target.getDate() - birth.getDate();

if (days < 0) { months--; days += new Date(target.getFullYear(), target.getMonth(), 0).getDate(); } if (months < 0) { years--; months += 12; }

return { years, months, days }; } ``

Our calculator handles all edge cases including leap years, varying month lengths, and negative differences (future dates).
