Python: Calendar

Python Basic: Exercise-12 with Solution

Write a Python program that prints the calendar for a given month and year.

Note: Use 'calendar' module.

Python calendar.month(theyear, themonth, w=0, l=0):

The function returns a month’s calendar in a multi-line string using the formatmonth() of the TextCalendar class.

'l' specifies the number of lines that each week will use.

Pictorial Presentation:

Print the calendar of a given month and year

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Import the 'calendar' module
import calendar

# Prompt the user to input the year and month
y = int(input("Input the year : "))
m = int(input("Input the month : "))

# Print the calendar for the specified year and month
print(calendar.month(y, m))

Sample Output:

Input the year : 2017                                                                                         
Input the month : 04                                                                                          
     April 2017

24 25 26 27 28 29 30 

Explanation:

The said code imports the calendar module, which allows you to output calendars like the Unix cal program, and provides additional useful functions related to the calendar. It then asks the user to input an integer for the year and month.

The code then uses the month() function from the calendar module, which takes the year and month as arguments and returns a string containing an ASCII calendar for that month of that year.
