Date
Datetime
Instruction
Good job! Python can automatically calculate the weekday for date objects. Take a look:
fra_mad_scheduled = datetime.date(2018, 12, 1)
print('Weekday of my flight (standard):', fra_mad_scheduled.weekday())
print('Weekday of my flight (ISO):', fra_mad_scheduled.isoweekday())
The weekday() function returns an integer from 0 (Monday) to 6 (Sunday). The isoweekday() function is similar, but returns a value from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday) instead.
Exercise
You are given the date object from the previous exercise and a list containing weekday names. Use both variables and the weekday() function to print the following sentence:
Daniel Higgins started working for us on a {weekday name}Stuck? Here's a hint!
Note that the integer in higgins_start_day.weekday() can be used as an index to retrieve the name of the appropriate weekday from the list.
