Date Time Functions in Python

---

Python datetime module is provided in Python to work with dates and times. A date in Python is not a data type of its own, but we can import a module named datetime to work with dates as date objects. These classes provide a number of functions to deal with dates, times and time intervals.

Here are some examples of common date and time-related functions in Python:

• datetime.now(): Returns the current date and time.
• datetime.date(): Returns date object of today's date.
• datetime.time(): Returns the current time.
• datetime.datetime(): Returns the current date and time as a datetime object.
• datetime.timedelta(days=0, seconds=0, microseconds=0, milliseconds=0, minutes=0, hours=0, weeks=0): Represents the difference between two date or time values.

The strftime() function is used to convert date and time objects to their string representation.
      Syntax :
           strftime ( format )

# Date Time in Python
import datetime as dt
 
current_date = dt.date.today()
print("Current Date : ", current_date)
 
new = dt.date(2021, 10, 25)
print(new)
print("Year : ", new.year)
print("Month : ", new.month)
print("Day : ", new.day)
print("--------------------------------------")
a = dt.time(10, 45, 5, 555505)
print(a)
print("Hour : ", a.hour)
print("minute : ", a.minute)
print("second : ", a.second)
print("microsecond : ", a.microsecond)
print("--------------------------------------")
current_time = dt.datetime.now()
print("Current Time : ", current_time)
print("--------------------------------------")
new = dt.datetime(2021, 5, 31, 12, 2, 10)
print(new)
print(new.date())
print(new.time())
print("--------------------------------------")
current = dt.datetime.now()
new_year = dt.datetime(2022, 1, 1)
difference = new_year - current
print(difference)
print("--------------------------------------")
current = dt.datetime.now()
print(current)
s=current.strftime("%A %b %d %Y")
print(s)
