Check out my video for the guide to format and convert date/time object to string object:

Below are the character codes to format the date and time:
%d: Returns the day of the month, from 1 to 31.
%m: Returns the month of the year, from 1 to 12.
%Y: Returns the year in four-digit format (Year with century). like, 2021.
%y: Returns year in two-digit format (year without century). like, 19, 20, 21
%A: Returns the full name of the weekday. Like, Monday, Tuesday
%a: Returns the short name of the weekday (First three character.). Like, Mon, Tue
%B: Returns the full name of the month. Like, June, March
%b: Returns the short name of the month (First three character.). Like, Mar, Jun
%H: Returns the hour. from 01 to 23.
%I: Returns the hour in 12-hours format. from 01 to 12.
%M: Returns the minute, from 00 to 59.
%S: Returns the second, from 00 to 59.
%f: Return the microseconds from 000000 to 999999
%p: Return time in AM/PM format
%c: Returns a locale’s appropriate date and time representation
%x: Returns a locale’s appropriate date representation
%X: Returns a locale’s appropriate time representation
%z: Return the UTC offset in the form ±HHMM[SS[.ffffff]] (empty string if the object is naive).
%Z: Return the Time zone name (empty string if the object is naive).
%j: Returns the day of the year from 01 to 366
%w: Returns weekday as a decimal number, where 0 is Sunday and 6 is Saturday.
%U: Returns the week number of the year (Sunday as the first day of the week) from 00 to 53
%W: Returns the week number of the year (Monday as the first day of the week) from 00 to

This is a very basic practice with Python datetime module and date() class function. To create a date, we can use the date() class (constructor) of the datetime module. The date() class requires three parameters to create a date: year, month, day.

I like the way you write the one-line sum function code. It's also my preferred of doing the counting. Cheers!

In 'strftime, ' the 'f' is for 'format, ' and in 'strptime, ' the 'p' is for 'parse.' Knowing this helps you remember them better. Great video by the way.

To whom might be interested:
how to combine date and time together:

import datetime, date, time

# (hours, minutes)
_time = time(7, 0)

# (year, month, day)
_date = date(2018, 6, 11)

# Create a datetime object
_datetime = datetime.combine(_date, _time)

Hi, I've got a question: I see that I can create a datetime object by using datetime(year, month, date) or date(year, month, date). So what are the differences between these two functions? Thanks in advance!
