Pandas Datetime: Calculate all the sighting days of the unidentified flying object from current date
2. UFO Sighting Days from Current Date
Write a Pandas program to calculate all the sighting days of the unidentified flying object (ufo) from current date.
Sample Solution :
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv(r'ufo.csv')
df['Date_time'] = df['Date_time'].astype('datetime64[ns]')
now = pd.to_datetime('today')
print("Original Dataframe:")
print(df.head())
print("\nCurrent date:")
print(now)
Sample Output:
Original Dataframe:
Date_time city ... latitude longitude
0 1910-06-01 15:00:00 wills point ... 32.709167 -96.008056
1 1920-06-11 21:00:00 cicero ... 40.123889 -86.013333
2 1929-07-05 14:00:00 buchanan (or burns) ... 43.642500 -118.627500
3 1931-06-01 13:00:00 abilene ... 38.917222 -97.213611
4 1939-06-01 20:00:00 waterloo ... 34.918056 -88.064167
