Check Date is Valid in Python and Increment Date || GENERAL PYTHON PROGRAMMING QUESTION(Part 1)

For aspiring Data Scientists, Python is probably the most important language to learn because of its rich ecosystem. Python's major advantage is its breadth. For example, R can run Machine Learning algorithms on a preprocessed dataset, but Python is much better at processing the data.

Why You Must Consider Writing Software Applications in Python:
1) Readable and Maintainable Code
2) Multiple Programming Paradigms
3) Compatible with Major Platforms and Systems
4) Robust Standard Library
5) Many Open Source Frameworks and Tools
6) Simplify Complex Software Development
7) Adopt Test Driven Development
