Python Coding challenge - Day 346| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Explanation of the Code:

from datetime import datetime  

now = datetime.now()  

print(now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))

1. from datetime import datetime:

This imports the datetime class from the datetime module.

The datetime class provides functions to work with dates and times.

2. now = datetime.now():

datetime.now() retrieves the current date and time as a datetime object.

3. now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"):

The strftime method formats the datetime object into a string.

"%Y-%m-%d" is a format specifier:

%Y: Represents the year in 4 digits (e.g., 2025).

%m: Represents the month in 2 digits (e.g., 01 for January).

%d: Represents the day in 2 digits (e.g., 25).

4. Output:

B: The current date in YYYY-MM-DD format

The strftime("%Y-%m-%d") will produce a string in the format YYYY-MM-DD (e.g., 2025-01-25).
