Python: Test the third Tuesday of a month

Python Datetime: Exercise-20 with Solution

Write a Python program to test the third Tuesday of a month.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

from datetime import datetime 
def is_third_tuesday(s):
    d = datetime.strptime(s, '%b %d, %Y')
    return d.weekday() == 1 and 14 < d.day < 22

print(is_third_tuesday('Jun 23, 2015')) #False
print(is_third_tuesday('Jun 16, 2015')) #True 
print(is_third_tuesday('Jul 21, 2015')) #False

Sample Output: 

False                                                                
True                                                                 
True

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
