Days of the Week Function Name: days_of_the_week() Parameters: list of birthdays ( list ), year (int ) Returns: list of names ( list ) Description: You and your friends all want to celebrate your birthdays together, but you don't want to stay up late on a school night. Write a function that takes in a list of tuples formatted as (day ( int ), month ( int ), name (string)), and a year ( int ). Use Python's calendar module to find the day of the week that the date falls on in the given year (O being Monday, 6 being Sunday). Return of a list of the names of your friends whose birthday falls on a Friday (4) or a Saturday (5). >>> birthdays = [(28, 2, "Molly"), (19, 3, "Abby"), (4, 9, "Kevin"), (15, 1, "C laudia")] >>> year = 2020 >>> print (days_of_the_week(birthdays, year)) ['Molly', 'Kevin'] >>> birthday = [(10, 11, "Sayler"), (18, 9, "Chad"), (29, 10, "Tammie")] >>> year = 2027 >>> print (days_of_the_week(birthdays, year)) ['Chad', 'Tammie']

Answer 1

In this problem, we have to find the name of those students whose birthday falls on either Friday or Saturday.

So the basic approach is iterate through all the dates of the birthday of students and creates one empty list to store the name of the student. whose birthday falls on either Friday or Saturday and use the python built-in calendar module to find whether it is Friday or Saturday and if we find a match append a name to list and return.

import calendar def days_of_the_week(birthdays, year): argl list of birthdays (list of tuples) arg2 year(int) names of student=[] for item in birthday: day=item[0] month=item[1] day_of_week=calendar.weekday (year, month, day) if day of week==4 or day of week=55: names_of_student.append (item[2] ) print (day_of_week) return names_of_student birthday=[ (28,2, "Molly"), (19,3, "Abby"), (4,9, "Kevin"), (15,1,"Claudia")] year=2020 print (days_of_the_week (birthday, year))
