redefine_generation: Redefine when a generation starts and ends

In JoeyStanley/generations: Converts Birth Years to Generation Names

Description

Not all people agree on when a generation started and ended. This is especially true with the most recent few generations. The years I have chosen come from Howe & Strauss' book. This function lets you redefine the start and end years of a generation to fit your personal tastes.

Usage

redefine_generation(generation, start, end)

Arguments

generation	a string, exactly matching a generation's name
start	an integer, representing the year you want generation to start at
end	an integer, representing thet year you want generation to end at.

Details

The changes here modify the underlying data and will be reflected in any subsequent reference to the generational data. You can view what the current dataset is with show_generations. Any change you make can be reset using reset_generations.

Examples

redefine_generation("Millennial", 1980, 1997)
show_generations()
