Simple Python Project.

Question

Question: Using the datetime, calendar and time modules.
Your task is to create a program. it should:
- take your birthday.
- check if current system date is your birthday
- if it is, print a happy birthday message.
- if it isn't, output how many days until your birthday.

okay so i did manage to create the program, and it worked well.

Now here is the problem, my code isn't as clean as it should, as in if i wanted to check if it was someone else's birthday, i would have to change alot of variables. namely:
- birth year
- birth month
- birth day
- what number is the "birth day" in a year. Eg 1 Jan is day 1 in a year, and 31 Dec is the 365th day is a year. My birthday March 16 is day 75 this year but if it was a leap year, it would be day 76.

soo I'm challenging you to improve my code such that i don't have to change alot of things.

thank you.

Answer 1

1. Let user input Birthday by year-month-day .
Split input by - and map each value to integer.
If you wanna keep the dict, then first 3 entries are variables (and the other ones useless)

2. Today is simply datetime.date.today()
3. Calculate bday this year. If bday - today is negative, add 1 to bday.year.

To avoid to change too much, you should .... sorry.... begin a new prog. That's the hard life of a coder😔
