Pandas Time Series: Exercise-25 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to extract the day name from a specified date. Add 2 days and 1 business day with the specified date.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
newday = pd.Timestamp('2020-02-07')
print("First date:")
print(newday)
print("\nThe day name of the said date:")
print(newday.day_name())
print("\nAdd 2 days with the said date:")
newday1 = newday + pd.Timedelta('2 day')
print(newday1.day_name())
print("\nNext business day:")
nbday = newday + pd.offsets.BDay()
print(nbday.day_name())

Sample Output:
