Solution 1

That's not good - "18 years old" as an adult is not just a case of "year - x".
See here: Working with Age: it's not the same as a TimeSpan![^] - it's C# based, so you can;t use it directly, but it's pretty simple stuff so you should be able to work out what to do in Python.

Solution 2

You need to convert the input into a date type and get the year from that. See datetime — Basic date and time types — Python 3.7.1 documentation[^].
