### `calculateAge` Function
3+
4+
The `calculateAge` function performs the following tasks:
5+
6+
1. **Get User Input:**
7+
- Retrieves the user's birthdate from an HTML input element with the id 'birthdate'.
8+
9+
```javascript
10+
let userDate = document.getElementById('birthdate').value;
11+
```
12+
13+
2. **Check Validity of User Input:**
14+
- Checks if the entered value is not a number (NaN) or an empty string. If invalid, it displays an alert and stops further execution.
15+
16+
```javascript
17+
if (userDate == NaN || userDate == '') {
18+
return alert('Enter a valid date of birth. You may have not entered a complete date or entered a non-existent date information.');
19+
}
20+
```
21+
22+
3. **Create Date Objects:**
23+
- Converts the user's birthdate and the current date into `Date` objects.
24+
25+
```javascript
26+
const birthdate = new Date(userDate);
27+
const currentDate = new Date();
28+
```
29+
30+
4. **Reset Result and Error Display:**
31+
- Hides the result and error elements on the HTML page.
32+
33+
```javascript
34+
document.getElementById('result').style.display = 'none';
35+
document.getElementById('error').style.display = 'none';
36+
```
37+
38+
5. **Check Birthdate Validity:**
39+
- If the birthdate is greater than the current date, it displays an error message.
40+
41+
```javascript
42+
if (birthdate > currentDate) {
43+
document.getElementById('error').style.display = 'block';
44+
document.getElementById('error').innerHTML = 'Please enter a valid birthdate.';
45+
return;
46+
}
47+
```
48+
49+
6. **Calculate Age Difference:**
50+
- Calculates the age difference between the birthdate and the current date in various units (milliseconds, years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds).
51+
52+
```javascript
53+
const ageInMilliseconds = currentDate - birthdate;
54+
const millisecondsInYear = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365.25;
55+
const millisecondsInMonth = millisecondsInYear / 12;
56+
const millisecondsInWeek = 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;
57+
// ... (similar calculations for other time units)
58+
```
59+
60+
7. **Display Age Information:**
61+
- Updates the HTML elements with the calculated age values.
62+
63+
```javascript
64+
document.getElementById('years').textContent = years;
65+
document.getElementById('months').textContent = months;
66+
// ... (similar updates for other time units)
67+
```
68+
69+
8. **Calculate and Display Life Milestones:**
70+
- Calculates and displays life milestones like retirement age, half-life, and specific ages.
71+
72+
```javascript
73+
const retirementAge = 65;
74+
const halfLife = years / 2;
75+
const age18 = 18;
76+
const age21 = 21;
77+
const age30 = 30;
78+
79+
document.getElementById('retirementAge').textContent = retirementAge;
80+
document.getElementById('halfLife').textContent = halfLife.toFixed(2); // Show with two decimal places
81+
// ... (similar updates for other milestones)
82+
```
83+
84+
9. **Additional Notes:**
85+
- The code provides flexibility to add more milestones as needed.
