# [Bug] in “year with offset” shortcode

 * Hi Gaurav — really nice plugin!
 * I think I’ve found a small edge-case bug/formatting issue with the [year] shortcode
   when n is a large negative number (somewhere in the 4 digits).
 * This works as expected:
 * `[age date="2003-01-01"]`
 * Expected output: 23 (and that’s what I get)
 * But this doesn’t behave as expected:
 * `[year n=-2003]`
 * I’d expect this to output the current year minus 2003 (e.g., 23 in 2026), but
   it seems like 2003 is “too large” and something breaks once n crosses into 4 
   digits somewhere.
 * Also, this looks like a zero-padding issue:
 * `[year n=-1100]`
 * Current output: 0926
   Expected output: 926
 * Not a big deal on my end since `[age date="2003-01-01"]` works for my use case—
   just wanted to flag it in case you’d like to harden the `[year]` path (or strip
   leading zeros).

 * Hi André, I’ll be honest – I didn’t try it with such large offsets. I am working
   on an update and add these improvements to the update. For the time being, I 
   am marking this as resolved, but I will let you know once the update is released.
