Syntax error Print dates of today, yesterday and tomorrow using Numpy

Print dates of today, yesterday and tomorrow using Numpy

In this program, we will print today's, yesterday's and tomorrow's dates using the numpy library.

Algorithm

Step 1: Import the numpy library.
Step 2: find today's date using the datetime64() function.
Step 3: find yesterday's date by subtracting the output of timedelta64() function from the output of datetime64() function.
Step 4: Find yesterday's date by adding the output of timedelta64() function from the output of datetime64() function.

Example Code

import numpy as np

todays_date = np.datetime64('today', 'D')
print("Today's Date: ", todays_date)

yesterdays_date = np.datetime64('today', 'D') - np.timedelta64(1, 'D')
print("Yesterday's Date: ", yesterdays_date)

tomorrows_date = np.datetime64('today', 'D') + np.timedelta64(1, 'D')
print("Tomorrow's Date: ", tomorrows_date)

Output

Today's Date: 2021-02-16
Yesterday's Date: 2021-02-15
Tomorrow's Date: 2021-02-17

Explanation

In numpy, there are data types which support datetime functionality. The name 'datetime64' is given to the function because the name 'datetime' is already taken by a library in Python.

The 'D' parameter in the datetime64() function is for getting the date in a 'days' unit. timedelta64() function is used for expressing difference in times for example, days, hours, minutes, seconds.
