Date and Time
Being able to get the date or time is a common thing for a program. Pythons datetime module gives a way to do this:
- import datetime
- x = datetime.datetime.now()
- print (x)
That would give this : 2020-07-08 15:46:55.647734
This date contains year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and microsecond in that order.
Knowing this you can choose the sections you want eg:
- print (x.year) would give the year - 2020
- print (x.month) gives the month - 07
- print (x.day) gives the day - 08
- print (x.hour) gives the hour - 15
- print (x.minute) gives the minute - 46
- print(x.strftime("%A")) - gives the day of the week, so for this example Wednesday
There is a working version of this in the trinket. There is also a method for entering dates, and calculating the gap between two dates.
