age_in_days

Syntax

age_in_days()

Description

Returns the age of the calling agent in days.

This action returns the integer number of days since the calling agent's date of birth.

This calcuation is exact for agents born during the simulation period.

For agents with dates of birth prior to the simulation start_date, the calculation assumes 365.25 days per year; that is, it may not be 100% accurate due to the presence of leap days.

Examples

The following would assign the age of the calling agent in weeks to some numeric variable my_age_in_weeks.

my_age_in_weeks = floor(age_in_days() / 7)
