read -p "enter the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD "

i=$(($(date +%Y)-${REPLY%%-*}))
j=$(($(date +%m)-${REPLY:5:2}))
k=$(($(date +%d)-${REPLY##*-}))

if $i > 1 then assign l=$((i*365)) and else what?? # what about leap years?
Using $j somehow assign m   # confused before I've started
Using $k somehow assign n   # just as bad
echo $((l+m+n))
