*Steps of the Algorithm:*
1. **Input Birth Date**: Prompt the user to enter their birth date (year, month, day).
2. **Get Current Date**: Use the `datetime` module to get the current date.
3. **Calculate Age**: Compute the difference between the current date and the birth date to determine the age.
4. **Output Age**: Print the calculated age.
*Detailed Steps:*
1. **Input Birth Date**:
Use the `input()` function to take the year, month, and day of birth from the user.
Convert the input strings to integers.
2. **Get Current Date**:
Use `datetime.datetime.now()` to get the current date.
3. **Calculate Age**:
Subtract the birth date from the current date to calculate the difference in years, months, and days.
Adjust for the case where the birth date has not yet occurred this year.
4. **Output Age**:
Use the `print()` function to display the calculated age.
