string adDate = DateConverter.ConvertBSToAD(bsDate);
Console.WriteLine($"BS {bsDate} converts to AD {adDate:yyyy-MM-dd}");

// Convert AD to BS
string bsBack = DateConverter.ConvertADToBS(adDate);
Console.WriteLine($"AD {adDate:yyyy-MM-dd} converts back to BS {bsBack}");

// Get today's date
string todayAD = DateConverter.GetTodayDateAD();
string todayBS = DateConverter.GetTodayDateBS();
Console.WriteLine($"Today's AD date: {todayAD}");
Console.WriteLine($"Today's BS date: {todayBS}");
