calendar-test

A simple calendar test that will be worked on in the future.

Code:

For simplicity let's name this file "calendar test".

import datetime 
date = str(input('Enter the date(for example:09 02 2019):'))
day_name= ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday','Sunday']
day = datetime.datetime.strptime(date, '%d %m %Y').weekday()
print(day_name[day])

What this code does, is become farmilliarised with the days of the week, and, using datetime recognises the year. When run, you have to enter a date (eg. 08 06 2012) and locates the day for that date.

Examples:

To show you what this program can do, here's some text I got when running the program:

Enter the date(for example:09 02 2019):

I then typed my answer and got this result:

Enter the date(for example:09 02 2019):11 10 1880
Monday

You can expand on this concept, like using it in games, and things like that, so if you want to, go ahead!

Errors:

When you don't type anything, and just hit enter, the program will become confused, resulting in a lengthy error.
