Date Abstract Data Type
A Date Abstract Data Type (ADT) is a conceptual model that defines the
properties and operations for managing dates, abstracting away the
implementation details. The Date ADT encapsulates the idea of a calendar date,
typically comprising year, month, and day components. It provides a set of
operations that can be performed on these date values.
Properties of Date ADT
● Year: A four-digit integer representing the year.
● Month: An integer between 1 and 12 representing the month.
● Day: An integer representing the day of the month, with a valid range
depending on the month and year (considering leap years).
Operations of Date ADT
1. Set Date: Initialize or modify the date.
2. Get Date: Retrieve the current date.
3. Check Leap Year: Determine if the current year is a leap year.
4. Add Days: Add a specified number of days to the date.
5. Subtract Days: Subtract a specified number of days from the date.
6. Compare Dates: Compare two dates to determine their chronological
order.
7. Format Date: Return the date in a specified string format.
Code:
Basic Code:
from datetime import date
# You can create a date object containing
# the current date
# by using a classmethod named today()
current = date.today()
# print current year, month, and year individually
print("Current Day is :", current.day)
print("Current Month is :", current.month)
print("Current Year is :", current.year)
# strftime() creates string representing date in
# various formats
print("\n")
print("Let's print date, month and year in different-different ways")
format1 = current.strftime("%m/%d/%y")
# prints in month/date/year format
print("format1 =", format1)
format2 = current.strftime("%b-%d-%Y")
# prints in month(abbreviation)-date-year format
print("format2 =", format2)
format3 = current.strftime("%d/%m/%Y")
# prints in date/month/year format
print("format3 =", format3)
format4 = current.strftime("%B %d, %Y")
# prints in month(words) date, year format
print("format4 =", format4)
O/P
Current Day is : 23
Current Month is : 3
Current Year is : 2021
Let's print date, month and year in different-different ways
format1 = 03/23/21
format2 = Mar-23-2021
format3 = 23/03/2021
format4 = March 23, 2021

print(date)
date.add_days(5)
