Code Details:
-
Initialization:
-
extinctionYear
is initialized by adding 10,000 years to thecurrentYear
.
-
-
Adjustments Based on Factors:
-
extinctionYear
is increased or decreased based on each factor in thefactors
object:-
climateChangeSeverity
: A value between 0 and 1. The extinction year decreases by up to 5,000 years depending on the severity of climate change. -
globalConflictLevel
: A value between 0 and 1. The extinction year decreases by up to 3,000 years based on the level of global conflict. -
technologicalAdvancement
: A value between 0 and 1. The extinction year increases by up to 2,000 years depending on the degree of technological advancement. -
globalPandemicRisk
: A value between 0 and 1. The extinction year decreases by up to 2,000 years based on the risk of a global pandemic. -
aiRisk
: A value between 0 and 1. The extinction year decreases by up to 3,000 years depending on the risks associated with artificial intelligence.

Calculating Years Until Extinction:
-
yearsUntilExtinction
is calculated by subtractingcurrentYear
fromextinctionYear
. -
If
yearsUntilExtinction
is less than 0, it is set to 0.
-
-
Returning the Result:
- The function returns the number of years until extinction.
-
-
Usage Example:
-
Retrieve the
currentYear
. -
Set the values in the
factors
object. Each factor should be a value between 0 and 1. -
Call the
predictHumanExtinction
function to calculate the years until extinction. -
Output the result to the console.
