Project Description
This program helps you keep track of deadlines by allowing you to input a specific date and time. It calculates whether the deadline has already passed, is happening today, or how many days remain until the deadline.
Expected Output
A) Scenario 1: Deadline not passed
The program starts by prompting the user to enter a deadline in the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM format.
If the submitted deadline is later than the current time and date, the program displays the message “The deadline is in x day(s). Keep working 🚀”
B) Scenario 2: Deadline passed
If the submitted date is earlier than today’s date, that means the deadline has passed, and the message “The deadline has passed 😢” is printed out.
Learning Benefits
Date and Time Handling: You will practice using the
datetimemodule to parse, manipulate, and compare dates and times, a crucial skill for scheduling and time-sensitive applications.Input Parsing: You will practice accepting user input and converting it into a usable format using
strptime().Conditional Logic: You will practice implementing multiple conditional statements to handle various scenarios, such as past, present, and future deadlines.
String Formatting: You will practice formatting messages dynamically to provide meaningful feedback based on the calculated deadline status.
Prerequisites
Required Libraries: datetime
No need to install any library since random is a standard library.
