Some of Time Functions are discussed in Set 1
Date manipulation can also be performed using Python using “datetime” module and using “date” class in it.
Operations on Date :
1. MINYEAR :- It displays the minimum year that can be represented using date class.
2. MAXYEAR :- It displays the maximum year that can be represented using date class.
# Python code to demonstrate the working of # MINYEAR and MAXYEAR # importing built in module datetime import datetime from datetime import date # using MINYEAR to print minimum representable year print ("Minimum representable year is : ",end="") print (datetime.MINYEAR) # using MAXYEAR to print maximum representable year print ("Maximum representable year is : ",end="") print (datetime.MAXYEAR) |
Output:
Minimum representable year is : 1 Maximum representable year is : 9999
3. date(yyyy-mm-dd) :- This function returns a string with passed arguments in order of year, months and date.
4. today() :- Returns the date of present day in the format yyyy-mm-dd.
# Python code to demonstrate the working of # date() and today() # importing built in module datetime import datetime from datetime import date # using date() to represent date print ("The represented date is : ",end="") print (datetime.date(1997,4,1)) # using today() to print present date print ("Present date is : ",end="") print (date.today()) |
Output:
The represented date is : 1997-04-01 Present date is : 2016-08-02
5. fromtimestamp(sec) :- It returns the date calculated from the seconds elapsed since epoch mentioned in arguments.
6. min() :- This returns the minimum date that can be represented by date class.
7. max() :- This returns the maximum date that can be represented by date class.
# Python code to demonstrate the working of # fromtimestamp(), min() and max() # importing built in module datetime import datetime from datetime import date # using fromtimestamp() to calculate date print ("The calculated date from seconds is : ",end="") print (date.fromtimestamp(3452435)) # using min() to print minimum representable date print ("Minimum representable date is : ",end="") print (date.min) # using max() to print minimum representable date print ("Maximum representable date is : ",end="") print (date.max) |
Output:
The calculated date from seconds is : 1970-02-09 Minimum representable date is : 0001-01-01 Maximum representable date is : 9999-12-31
