Arguments

pin

Examples

ex_pin <- c("010101-0101", "111111-111C")
pin_age(ex_pin, date = "2012-01-01")
#> The age in years has been calculated at 2012-01-01.
#> [1] 111 100

ex_pin <- c("010101-0101", "111111-111C")
hetu_age(ex_pin, date = "2012-01-01")
#> The age in years has been calculated at 2012-01-01.
