Studying Python with freeCodeCamp part2

Continuation of Scientific Computing with Python

I'm studying Python steadily at freeCodeCamp. In the previous article (https://qiita.com/makky0620/items/0f5dbcdd77b5b10cce96), I challenged ** Python for Everybody ** and ** Arithmetic Formatter **. This time I will challenge ** Time Calculator **.

• Python for Everybody
• Scientific Computing with Python Projects
  • Arithmetic Formatter -** Time Calculator (here this time) **
  • Budget App
  • Polygon Area Calculator
  • Probability Calculator

Second question: Time Calculator

The final thing I want is the ʻadd_time` method, and the behavior is as follows

add_time("3:00 PM", "3:10")
# Returns: 6:10 PM

add_time("11:30 AM", "2:32", "Monday")
# Returns: 2:02 PM, Monday

add_time("11:43 AM", "00:20")
# Returns: 12:03 PM

add_time("10:10 PM", "3:30")
# Returns: 1:40 AM (next day)

add_time("11:43 PM", "24:20", "tueSday")
# Returns: 12:03 AM, Thursday (2 days later)

add_time("6:30 PM", "205:12")
# Returns: 7:42 AM (9 days later)

Implementation policy

• Convert the first argument to datetime and add the second argument with: divided into hours and minutes.
• Regarding the day of the week, it is converted to uppercase + lowercase in the preprocessing (because there was tueSday etc.).
• The characters in parentheses in the output calculate the difference between the date and the time entered in the first argument, and divide it into 1 or less and 1 or more.

Personal point: Receive the date and time including the day of the week

As a method to convert date and time and character string to each other

• strptime (): String-> Convert to date and time
• strftime (): Date and time-> Convert to string

there is. strftime () can output the day of the week by using a formatting code such as % A or% a. There is also a formatting code of % p for 12-hour tables like AM / PM.

import datetime

dt = datetime.datetime(2020, 7, 13)
print(dt.strftime('%A, %a'))
# Monday, Mon

However, strptime () could not receive the day of the week with% a etc. (Because you don't know the day of the week unless the date is decided ...)

import datetime

dt_str = "7:49 Wednesday"
format = "%H:%M %A"
dt = datetime.strptime(dt_str, format)

print(dt.strftime("%H:%M %A"))
# 07:49 Monday

So, I made a list of days of the week and implemented it.

weeks = ["Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday"]

def get_week_by_diff(week, diff):
    index = weeks.index(week)
    target_index (index + diff) % len(weeks)
    return weeks[target_index]

Finally

I felt it was easier than the previous problem.

The next issue is * Budget App *.
