How to calculate year and month out of int value....

Hi

How can i calculate year /month out of int value, if i have a value "16", that means it is 1 year and 4 months.
Whatever result i get in int iw ant it to be calculated in year and months

How can i do that?

 var currDate = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();

                    DateTime.TryParseExact(ansiennitetsdatoberegnet, formats, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out startDate);
                    DateTime.TryParseExact(currDate, formats, CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, DateTimeStyles.None, out currentDate);

                    result = ((startDate.Year - currentDate.Year) * 12) + startDate.Month - currentDate.Month;
                    var result2 = 12 * (startDate.Year - currentDate.Year) + startDate.Month - currentDate.Month;
                    var res = Math.Abs(result); //res returns 16 ,  1 year, 4 months......

Perhaps

var yrs = res/12;
    
var mths = res % 12;

Console.WriteLine (string.Format("{0} years {1} months", yrs,mths));

Thanks, solved my issue, but why using Int64 and not just Int?

Jeff Edmunds

You could really use either. With numbers that small, "int" or "Int32" probably makes more sense. It was more just to show the code using an integer value.
