52. First and Last Second

Write a Python program to get the first and last second.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Import the datetime module
import datetime

# Print the minimum time (midnight) in the datetime module
print("First Second: ", datetime.time.min)
# Print the maximum time (11:59:59.999999) in the datetime module
print("Last Second: ", datetime.time.max)

Output:

First Second:  00:00:00                                                                                       
Last Second:  23:59:59.999999

Explanation:

In the exercise above,

The code imports the "datetime" module, which provides classes for manipulating dates and times.
It prints the minimum time available in the datetime module using "datetime.time.min".
It prints the maximum time available in the datetime module using "datetime.time.max".
