Extract month, date, and year from MMDDYYY when given as a input in that format. Using only math-CodePudding

I cannot figure out how to get DD and YYYY separated. For MM I did:

MMDDYYYY = int(input("enter" ))
month = MMDDYYYY // 1000000

Tried using % but could not figure out where to place it.

CodePudding user response：

Use the modulus operator in conjunction with division (try online)

month = MMDDYYYY // 1000000
day = MMDDYYYY % 1000000 // 10000
year = MMDDYYYY % 10000
print(month, day, year)

Instead of trying to do math, cutting the string should be easier (if you know it will be in MMDDYYYY format):

MMDDYYYY = input("enter: ")
month = int(MMDDYYYY[:2])
day = int(MMDDYYYY[2:4])
year = int(MMDDYYYY[4:])

Python has a very powerful class for dates and times called datetime, you can benefit well from it. here are some links to help: https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/datetime https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_datetime.asp and here is the documentation: https://pypi.org/project/DateTime/
