Python Datetime: Exercise-40 with Solution

Write a Python program to get the current date time information.

Sample Solution:-

Python Code:

import time
import datetime

print()
print("Time in seconds since the epoch: %s" %time.time())
print("Current date and time: " , datetime.datetime.now())
print("Alternate date and time: " ,datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%y-%m-%d-%H-%M"))
print("Current year: ", datetime.date.today().strftime("%Y"))
print("Month of year: ", datetime.date.today().strftime("%B"))
print("Week number of the year: ", datetime.date.today().strftime("%W"))
print("Weekday of the week: ", datetime.date.today().strftime("%w"))
print("Day of year: ", datetime.date.today().strftime("%j"))
print("Day of the month : ", datetime.date.today().strftime("%d"))
print("Day of week: ", datetime.date.today().strftime("%A"))
print()

Sample Output:

Time in seconds since the epoch: 1494232844.031525
