The given program is a simple countdown calculator implemented in Python. That calculates the number of days left between the current date.
The provided Python program is a countdown calculator that calculates the number of days left between the current date and a user-specified target date.
The program utilizes the datetime
module, which provides functions for working with dates and times. It begins by prompting the user to enter the target year, month, and day through the get_user_input()
function. The inputs are then used to create a target_date
object using the datetime.date()
function.
The calculate_countdown()
function determines the time left by subtracting the current date (obtained through datetime.date.today()
) from the target_date
. The result is returned as a timedelta
object representing the time difference.
Finally, the display_countdown()
function takes the time_left
object and prints the number of days remaining using the time_left.days
attribute.
In the main()
function, the program guides the user by displaying a welcome message and calling the appropriate functions to get the user input, calculate the countdown, and display the result.
By executing the program, users can input a target date, and the program will provide them with the number of days remaining until that date.
