Birthday Showing As Previous Year's Age?

I am testing a JavaScript snippet out for a site I want to use it in. Basically when the page loads the function my age executes. I'm doing this off a set birth-date. I noticed an

Solution 1:

Quite simply, the month for the Date function is meant to be given within a range of 0 (January) to 11 (December). Just change the 5 to a 4 to specify May.

To quote from MDN:

month Integer value representing the month, beginning with 0 for January to 11 for December.

functionmyage() {
var birthDate = newDate(1989, 4, 9, 0, 0, 0, 0)

// The current datevar currentDate = newDate();

// The age in yearsvar age = currentDate.getFullYear() - birthDate.getFullYear();

// Compare the monthsvar month = currentDate.getMonth() - birthDate.getMonth();

// Compare the daysvar day = currentDate.getDate() - birthDate.getDate();

// If the date has already happened this yearif ( month < 0 || month == 0 && day < 0 || month < 0 && day < 0 )
{
    age--;
}

document.write('I am ' + age + ' years old.');
}
