Modules – datetime, math

Datetime:
 Python has a module named datetime to work with dates and times.
 It provides a variety of classes for representing and manipulating dates and
times, as well as formatting and parsing dates and times in a variety of formats.

Example 1: Get Current Date and Time


import datetime

# get the current date and time


now = datetime.datetime.now()

print(now)

Output

2023-03-08 09:31:26.137671

 Here, we have imported the datetime module using the import


datetime statement.
 One of the classes defined in the datetime module is the datetime class.
 We then used the now() method to create a datetime object containing the
current local date and time.

Example 2: Get Current Date


import datetime

# get current date


current_date = datetime.date.today()

print(current_date)

Output

2023-03-08

In the above example, we have used the today() method defined in


the date class to get a date object containing the current local date.

Example: Print today's year, month and day

We can get year, month, day, day of the week etc. from the date object easily.
For example,
from datetime import date

# date object of today's date


today = date.today()

print("Current year:", today.year)


print("Current month:", today.month)
print("Current day:", today.day)

Output

Current year: 2023


Current month: 3
Current day: 8

Math Module:
 Python has a built-in math module.
 It is a standard module, so we don't need to install it separately.
 We only have to import it into the program we want to use.
 We can import the module, like any other module of Python, using import math
to implement the functions to perform mathematical operations.
 This module does not support complex datatypes.

It gives access to the underlying C library functions. For example,

# Square root calculation

import math
math.sqrt(4)
