Answer 1

Dikshant Sharma there is a string.capitalize() method that does what you want. It ensures the first letter is capitalized, and all the rest are lowercase.

The code could be reduced by comparing groups of months having the same number of days.

print("Please put the month in the suggested manner -- EX - January or january and so on...")
month = input("Enter the month in alphabetical format: ").capitalize()
if month in ('January',
'March',
'May',
'July',
'August',
'October',
'December'):
print('There are 31 Days in', month)
elif month in ('April',
'June',
'September',
'November'):
print('There are 30 Days in ', month)
elif month == 'February':
print('There are 28 days in a simple year & 29 days in a leap year in ', month)

Answer 2

You can't simply compare string using logical OR like that. Try like this ...

if month.lower() == 'january':

elif month.lower() == 'february':

etc etc ...

This way we check for month name in lowercase against the literals 'january', 'february' etc.

import calendar

d31 = []; d30 = []

for month_idx in range(1, 13):
if number_of_days_in_month(month_idx)==31:
d31.append(calendar.month_name[month_idx]); d31.append(calendar.month_abbr[month_idx])
elif (number_of_days_in_month(month_idx)==30):
d30.append(calendar.month_name[month_idx]); d30.append(calendar.month_abbr[month_idx])

print("Please put the month in the suggested manner -- EX - February or Feb and so on...\n")

month = input("Enter The Month in alphabetical format : ")
m = str.title(month).strip() ;print (m)

if m in d31:
print('There are 31 Days in', m)
elif m in d30:
print('There are 30 Days in', m)
elif m=='February' or m=="Feb":
print('There are 28 days in a simple year & 29 days in a leap year in', m)
else:
print("Incorrect month")

Basically I have made this code on which it shows how many days are there in any month which you input. Suppose if you input August so it should show 31 days in August or if you input February so it should show 28 days normally and 29 days in leap year and so onn.... But whenever I am inputting any month this code only implements the first if line which is written of January and any month I input it will show "There are 31 days in (whatever month I have put) " This same line repeates everytime. Hope you would have understood if not then ask me. But please somebody help me to resolve this code!! Thanks!
