Hello I have written out a piece of code but can't seem to get it to work and I'm not sure how to input my data from the dob and turn it into the age. I was wondering how I could write that using my %d as a placeholder for my dob data?

This is the code I have so far but it's saying I am missing an argument.

What I have tried:

from datetime import date

class Person:
  def __init__(self, id, name, dob):
    self.id = id
    self.name = name
    self.dob = dob

  def Greeting(self):
    print("Hello my name is %s" % self.name)  
    #print ("Hello, my name is %s and I am %d years old", %(self.name, self.calcAge()))
    
  def calcAge(dob):
    today = date.today()
    dob = today.year - dob.year - ((today.month, today.day) < (dob.month, dob.day))

    return dob
  print("I am %d" % calcAge(), 'years old')
   
p1 = Person(2315, "John", "6/13/2005")
p1.calcAge()
p1.Greeting()
print(p1.Greeting)
p1.id = 4506
p1.name = "Bob"
p1.dob = '3/8/2003'
p1.calcAge()

Look at your code:
Python
  def calcAge(dob):
    today = date.today()
    dob = today.year - dob.year - ((today.month, today.day) < (dob.month, dob.day))

    return dob
...
p1.calcAge()
You define the method as taking a single value as a parameter and returning the age. (Sort of)
Then you call it without giving it the parameter at all! Understandably, it complains ...
Additionally, when you call it, you don't do anything with the answer you return.

You are using strings for your date fields so this code will never work. You need to convert the strings to Date types, or use Date types in the firs place; see datetime — Basic date and time types — Python 3.11.0 documentation[^].
