Days Between

Days Between

We have prepared a set of Editor's Choice Solutions. You will see them first after you solve the mission. In order to see all other solutions you should change the filter.

How old are you in a number of days? It's easy to calculate - just subtract your birthday from today. We could make this a real challenge though and count the difference between any dates.

You are given two dates as an tuple with three numbers - a year, month and day. For example: 19 April 1982 will be (1982, 4, 19). You should find the difference in days between the given dates. For example between today and tomorrow = 1 day. The difference will always be either a positive number or zero, so don't forget about the absolute value.

Input: Two dates as tuples of integers.

Output: The difference between the dates in days as an integer.

Examples:

assert days_diff((1982, 4, 19), (1982, 4, 22)) == 3
assert days_diff((2014, 1, 1), (2014, 8, 27)) == 238
assert days_diff((2014, 8, 27), (2014, 1, 1)) == 238

How it is used: Python has batteries included, so in this mission you’ll need to learn how to use completed modules so that you don't have to invent the bicycle all over again.

Preconditions:

  • dates between 1 january 1 and 31 december 9999;
  • dates are correct.

CheckiO Extensions

CheckiO Extensions allow you to use local files to solve missions. More info in a blog post.

In order to install CheckiO client you'll need installed Python (version at least 3.8)

Install CheckiO Client first:

pip3 install checkio_client

Configure your tool

checkio --domain=py config --key=

Sync solutions into your local folder

checkio sync

(in beta testing) Launch local server so your browser can use it and sync solution between local file end extension on the fly. (doesn't work for safari)

checkio serv -d

Alternatevly, you can install Chrome extension or FF addon

checkio install-plugin
checkio install-plugin --ff
checkio install-plugin --chromium

Read more here about other functionality that the checkio client provides. Feel free to submit an issue in case of any difficulties.
