Description
Flag age can be expressed as completed adoption anniversaries instead of a simple difference between year numbers.
Flag age can be expressed as completed adoption anniversaries instead of a simple difference between year numbers.1
The full adoption and review dates determine whether the current year's anniversary has occurred.
When to use Flag Age in Years Calculator
Use this tool to apply the stated flag age in years calculator operation with an explicit input and unit basis.
How to use Flag Age in Years Calculator and how it works
- Establish the measurement basis and units described above.
- Enter actualAdoptionDate, actualAsOfDate and run the tool.
- Read result.completedAdoptionAnniversaryYears using the output meanings below.
- If input is rejected, correct the stated type, range, ordering or alignment issue and rerun; review successful results under the declared convention.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| actualAdoptionDate | Adoption date, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | string | required; further conditions in the algorithm |
| actualAsOfDate | As of date, on the basis specified in the algorithm. | string | required; further conditions in the algorithm |
Validate real ordered YYYY-MM-DD dates. Subtract years and subtract one when the review month-day precedes the adoption month-day; February 29 completes on March 1 in nonleap years.
completed years = review year − adoption year − before-anniversary flag Apply the declared units, ordering and branch conditions.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Object containing the declared output fields. | object |
| result.completedAdoptionAnniversaryYears | Nonnegative count of completed adoption anniversaries. | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
The output applies the declared operation to the values you supply. Establish the measurement basis, units, coefficients and any caller-selected rules before interpreting it. The tool does not independently collect or verify observations or decide whether a model or reference applies.
Supply explicit required fields with the documented types and dense aligned arrays. Unknown fields, wrong types and nonfinite numbers are rejected. Branch-specific constraints are explained above. A successful false boolean, negative signed difference, empty slice or unresolved tie is distinct from an input error. Very large inputs or outputs may be rejected by shared resource limits.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related operation, use Rainbow Pride Stripe Count Variant Identifier. Pride flag variants require historical and community context in addition to stripe count.
For a related operation, use Independence Year to Design Era Classifier. Independence, flag design and flag adoption may have different dates.
