The fromordinal() function is used to return the Gregorian date corresponding to a specified Gregorian ordinal. This is the opposite of the toordinal() function that is used to convert a Gregorian date to a Gregorian ordinal. When a negative ordinal value or an ordinal beyond the value returned by the date.max.toordinal() is passed to the parameter of the toordinal() function, this function raises a ValueError.
Syntax: @classmethod fromordinal(ordinal)
Parameters: This function accepts a parameter which is illustrated below:
- ordinal: This is the specified Gregorian ordinal for which the Gregorian date is going to be found.
Return values: This function returns the Gregorian date corresponding to a specified Gregorian ordinal.
Example 1: From the specific day of the Gregorian calendar.
Python3
# Python3 code for getting# the Gregorian date corresponding # to a given Gregorian ordinal.# Importing datetime moduleimport datetime# Specifying a Gregorian ordinalordinal = 123456;# Calling the fromordinal() function# over the specified Gregorian ordinaldate = datetime.date.fromordinal(ordinal);# Printing the Gregorian dateprint("The Gregorian date for the Gregorian\ordinal %d is: %s"%(ordinal, date)); |
Output:
The Gregorian date for the Gregorian ordinal 123456 is: 0339-01-05
Example 2: From first day of the Gregorian calendar.
Python3
# Python3 code for getting# the Gregorian date corresponding # to a given Gregorian ordinal.# Importing datetime moduleimport datetime# Calling the fromordinal() function over# the 1st day of Gregorian calendar as its parameterdate = datetime.date.fromordinal(1);# Printing the Gregorian date for the 1st date# of Gregorian calendarprint("Gregorian Date for the 1st day \of Gregorian calendar: %s"%date); |
Output:
Gregorian Date for the 1st day of Gregorian calendar: 0001-01-01
