import time
#
print(time.ctime(0)) # convert a time expressed in seconds since epoch to a readable string
# epoch = when your computer thinks time began (reference point)
print(time.time()) # return current seconds since epoch
# will get current time

#
# time.strftime(format, time_object) = formats a time_object to a string
# time_object = time.localtime() # local time
# time_object = time.gmtime() # UTC time
# local_time = time.strftime("%B %d %Y %H:%M:%S", time_object)
# print(local_time)

#
# time.strptime(time_string, format) = parses a string representing time/date and returns a struct_time object
# time_string = "20 April, 2020"
# time_object = time.strptime(time_string, "%d %B, %Y")
# print(time_object)

#
# time.asctime(time_tuple) = accepts a time_object or a tuple up to 9 elements and returns a string
# (year, month, day, hours, minutes, secs, day of the week, day of the year, dst)
# time_tuple = (2020, 4, 20, 4, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0)
# time_string = time.asctime(time_tuple)
# print(time_string)

# time_tuple = (2020, 4, 20, 4, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0)
# time_string = time.mktime(time_tuple)

The generosity I feel when I copy your neat and clean code with proper comments is too amazing, GREAT QUALITY CONTENT !!❤

[jhassee]

I paid for courses and didn't learn anything, this guy an maybe 4 others on YouTube taught me the ins and outs of python. Paying is not always the answer as I've learned

[kube]

bro, You helped me more than my teacher did, so much love <3

[lukascampidell]

I don't use the time module that often, so this was very helpful!

[WhishoMH]

this was actually uselfull, thanks for the eforts! you solved the complete misundertanding I had with that python documentation really. < 3

[SouravDash-divj]

that's really help me bro to understand the basic things of time module keep going on like this

[even]

I love how your example for the tuple is 4/20 at 4:20am

[ilordepic]

another comment for the algorithm bro thanks a lot

[mendozosa]

This tutorial has been the only one that help me with the time module cause the other codes didn't run at all, just gave me traceback errors, I'm trying to figure out the time and dates syntax

[LimeSpeedCrystal]

My chat with a bot now can tell the time! Thank you!

[wmstram]

Watched it. Think Python could have made this a lot more elegant.

[kellarin]

Why are our epoch times identical! I'm not even kidding. That's kind of spooky.

[chrisdavies]

Hey Bro, loving the tutorials.
Can I ask what would be a use for referencing the epoch time?
