$DOB = Read-Host "Enter date of birth" #read dob 10/20/2020
$NumberOfDays=(New-TimeSpan -End $DOB).Days #fins the days

if ($NumberOfDays -eq 0) { #check days is 0
    Write-Host "Hello " $Name", happy birthday!" #print happy birthday
}
elseif ($NumberOfDays -gt 0){ #check days is > 0
    Write-Host “Hello"$Name ", there are " $NumberOfDays " days to your Birthday!” #print days left birthday
}
elseif ($NumberOfDays -lt 0){ #check days is < 0
    Write-Host "Hello " $Name ", Your next birthday will be in " (365-(-($NumberOfDays))) "days" #print days to birthday
}
