# Write a function in Python programming language to take a user's date of birth
# and calculate the approximate number of seconds they have been alive.
# You must take into account leap years in your calculation.
# The program must re-run after each round is complete.
# Make sure comments are included in your code demonstrating logical steps.


from datetime import date  # Built in library for time handling


### -- Basic logic: -- ###

birthsday_date = date(1993, 7, 29)  # date format pattern (yyyy, m, d)
current_date = date.today()  # today's date

# Difference between birth and current date:
delta = current_date - birthsday_date

# Getting seconds from days:
seconds_alive = delta.days * 24 * 3600

print(seconds_alive)
print(delta.days)
print(delta.seconds)


# TODO:

### Transform the code to take a user's date of birth.
#
#   Hint:
#   Ask for date in format yyyy-mm-dd and use split function
#   to put in in a list (https://www.w3schools.com/python/ref_string_split.asp)
#
#   You will have 3 separate elements (strings) in a list and then you can create variables
#   year, month, day by accessing a certain element


### Use a loop to allow user to re-run code
