TASK 4: Manipulating Dates and Times with the datetime Module
Code:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
current_time = datetime.now()
one_week_later = current_time + timedelta(weeks=1)
print(f”Current time: {current_time}”)

print(f”One week later: {one_week_later}”)
Explanation:
1 Importing the datetime Module:
• from datetime import datetime, timedelta: This line imports the datetime module, which provides classes for
working with dates and times, and the timedelta class, which represents the difference between two dates or
times.
2 Getting the Current Time:

• current_time = datetime.now(): This line gets the current date and time and assigns it to the variable current_
time using the now() method of the datetime class.
3 Calculating One Week Later:

• one_week_later = current_time + timedelta(weeks=1): This line adds one week (7 days) to the current time
using the timedelta class. The result is stored in the variable one_week_later.
4 Displaying the Results:
• print(f”Current time: {current_time}”): This line prints the current time to the console using an f-string.

• print(f”One week later: {one_week_later}”): This line prints the calculated time one week later to the console
using an f-string.
