I am very new to python. May someone please please help me what the below code output will be
Code 1.
change_qtr_last_day = {datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 30).date(): datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 29).date(),
datetime.datetime(2019, 9, 30).date(): datetime.datetime(2019, 9, 28).date(),
datetime.datetime(2019, 3, 31).date(): datetime.datetime(2019, 3, 30).date()}
code2:
change_qtr_last_day = {datetime.datetime(2019, 9, 30).date(): datetime.datetime(2019, 9, 29).date(),
datetime.datetime(2020, 9, 30).date(): datetime.datetime(2020, 9, 28).date(),
datetime.datetime(2020, 3, 31).date(): datetime.datetime(2021, 3, 30).date()}
Many Thanks

**The output of the first script will be: **
{datetime.date(2018, 9, 30): datetime.date(2018, 9, 29), datetime.date(2019, 9, 30): datetime.date(2019, 9, 28), datetime.date(2019, 3, 31): datetime.date(2019, 3, 30)}
**Output of the second script will be: **
{datetime.date(2019, 9, 30): datetime.date(2019, 9, 29), datetime.date(2020, 9, 30): datetime.date(2020, 9, 28), datetime.date(2020, 3, 31): datetime.date(2021, 3, 30)}
If you are wondering why it isn’t only showing the date and is showing the function name, it is because datetime.datetime().date() returns a class
But if you want to only see the it as a proper date instead of class, use the str() function
Eg:
change_qtr_last_day = {str(datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 30).date()): str(datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 29).date())}
output:
{'2018-09-30': '2018-09-29'}
