Question

code in python:

Build a program that askes for the user to input their birthday.

Capture the birthdate and do the math to calculate how many days between todays date and their

birthday.

If their birthday has already passed, show the message “It’s been XX days since your birthday”

If their birthday is coming up, show the message “It’s XX days until your birthday”

If today is their birthday, show the message “Happy Birthday!”

Note: Date math produces a datatype called timedelta. In order to make this work, you have to

capture the number of days in a string and then parse out what you need. Make sure you account

for negative numbers if your birthday has passed.

Answer 1

from datetime import date
  
userInput = raw_input('Enter your birthday in YYYY-MM-DD format \n')
print userInput
year, month, day = map(int, userInput.split('-'))
today = date.today()
date1 = date(today.year, month, day)

DaysRemain = (date1 -today).days

if DaysRemain > 0:
print "It's " + str(DaysRemain) + " days until your birthday"
elif DaysRemain < 0:
print "It's been " + str(DaysRemain) + " days since your birthday"
elif DaysRemain == 0:
print "Happy Birthday!"
