Pandas: The datetime, day, and time objects

Last update on December 21 2024 07:56:00 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Pandas program to create
a) Datetime object for Jan 15 2012.
b) Specific date and time of 9:20 pm.
c) Local date and time.
d) A date without time.
e) Current date.
f) Time from a datetime.
g) Current local time.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import datetime
from datetime import datetime
print("Datetime object for Jan 11 2012:")
print(datetime(2012, 1, 11))
print("\nSpecific date and time of 9:20 pm") 
print(datetime(2011, 1, 11, 21, 20))
print("\nLocal date and time:")
print(datetime.now())
print("\nA date without time: ")
print(datetime.date(datetime(2012, 5, 22)))
print("\nCurrent date:")
print(datetime.now().date())
print("\nTime from a datetime:")
print(datetime.time(datetime(2012, 12, 15, 18, 12)))
print("\nCurrent local time:") 
print(datetime.now().time())

Sample Output:

Datetime object for Jan 11 2012:
2012-01-11 00:00:00

Specific date and time of 9:20 pm
2011-01-11 21:20:00

Local date and time:
2020-08-17 09:56:17.459790

A date without time: 
2012-05-22

Current date:
2020-08-17

Time from a datetime:
18:12:00

Current local time:
09:56:17.461250
