Thread: If Statement not working

Hi I'm new to programming so I'm having a problem where an if statement isn't working. In the Person class boolean olderThan ignores my if statement so it always returns false and I just don't get why that's happening.

import java.util.Calendar;
public class Person {
    private String name;
    private MyDate birthday;
 
    public Person(String name, int pp, int kk, int vv) {
        this.name = name;
        this.birthday = new MyDate(pp, kk, vv);
    }
 
 
    public int age() {
        MyDate today = new MyDate ( Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.DATE) ,
                Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1 ,
                Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR));
        return today.differenceInYears( this.birthday );
 
    }
 
    public boolean olderThan(Person compared) {
        if ( this.age() > compared.age()){
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
 
    public String getName() {
        return this.name;
    }
 
    public String toString() {
        return this.name + ", born " + this.birthday;
    }
 
 
}

 
public class MyDate {
 
    private int day;
    private int month;
    private int year;
 
    public MyDate(int pv, int kk, int vv) {
        this.day = pv;
        this.month = kk;
        this.year = vv;
    }
 
    public String toString() {
        return this.day + "." + this.month + "." + this.year;
    }
 
    public boolean earlier(MyDate compared) {
        if (this.year < compared.year) {
            return true;
        }
 
        if (this.year == compared.year && this.month < compared.month) {
            return true;
        }
 
        if (this.year == compared.year && this.month == compared.month
                && this.day < compared.day) {
            return true;
        }
 
        return false;
    }
 
 
    public int differenceInYears (MyDate comparedDate){
        return Math.abs((((this.year*365)+(this.month*30)+this.day)-((comparedDate.year
                *365)+(comparedDate.month*30)+comparedDate.day))/365);
 
    }
 
 
}

olderThan ignores my if statement so it always returns false

Try debugging the code by adding a println statement that prints out the values of both variables used in the if statement so you can see what the computer sees when the code executes.
