Python: Get the number of days of a given month and year

Python Datetime: Exercise-22 with Solution

Write a Python program to get the number of days in a given month and year.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Import the monthrange function from the calendar module
from calendar import monthrange

# Define the year and month for which we want to find information
year = 2016
month = 2

# Use the monthrange function to get information about the specified month and year
# The function returns a tuple containing the weekday of the first day of the month (0 for Monday, 1 for Tuesday, etc.)
# and the number of days in the month.
print(monthrange(year, month)) 

Output:

(0, 29)

Explanation:

In the exercise above,

• The code imports the "monthrange()" function from the "calendar" module.
• Define Year and Month:
• It defines variables 'year' and 'month' with the values 2016 and 2, respectively.
• Month information:
• It uses the "monthrange()" function to get information about the specified month (month) in the specified year (year).
• The "monthrange()" function returns a tuple containing two values:
• The first value is the weekday of the first day of the month (0 for Monday, 1 for Tuesday, etc.).
• The second value is the number of days in the month.
• It prints the tuple returned by the "monthrange()" function, which contains the weekday of the first day of the month and the number of days in the month.
