Python: Print simple format of time, full names and the representation format and preferred date time format

Python Datetime: Exercise-60 with Solution

Write a Python program that prints the time, names, representation format, and the preferred date time format in a simple format.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Import the time module
import time

# Print a message indicating simple format of time
print("\nSimple format of time:")
# Format the current time in a specific format and store it in variable s
s = time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S + 1010", time.gmtime())
# Print the formatted time
print(s)

# Print a message indicating full names and the representation
print("\nFull names and the representation:")
# Format the current time in a specific format and store it in variable s
s = time.strftime("%A, %D %B %Y %H:%M:%S + 0000", time.gmtime())
# Print the formatted time
print(s)

# Print a message indicating preferred date time format
print("\nPreferred date time format:")
# Format the current time in the preferred format and store it in variable s
s = time.strftime("%c")
# Print the formatted time
print(s)

# Format the current time to include date, time, year, and year in variable s
s = time.strftime("%x, %X, %y, %Y")
# Print an example message followed by the formatted time
print("Example 11:", s) 

Output:

Simple format of time:
Tue, 13 Apr 2021 12:02:01 + 1010

Full names and the representation:
Tuesday, 04/13/21 April 2021 12:02:01 + 0000

Preferred date time format:
Tue Apr 13 12:02:01 2021
Example 11: 04/13/21, 12:02:01, 21, 2021

Explanation:

In the exercise above,

  • The code imports the "time" module.
  • It prints a message indicating the simple format of time.
  • It formats the current time in a specific format using "time.strftime()" with %a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S + 1010 format and stores it in the variable 's'.
  • It prints the formatted time stored in the variable 's'.
  • It prints a message indicating full names and the representation.
  • It formats the current time in another specific format using "time.strftime()" with %A, %D %B %Y %H:%M:%S + 0000 format and stores it in the variable 's'.
  • It prints the formatted time stored in the variable 's'.
  • It prints a message indicating the preferred date time format.
  • It formats the current time in the preferred format (%c) and stores it in the variable 's'.
  • It prints the formatted time stored in the variable 's'.
  • It formats the current time to include date, time, year, and year in the variable 's'.
  • It prints an example message followed by the formatted time stored in the variable 's'.
