Pandas Datetime: Calculate all the sighting days of the unidentified flying object from current date
Pandas Datetime: Exercise-2 with Solution
Write a Pandas program to calculate all the sighting days of the unidentified flying object (ufo) from current date.
Sample Solution :
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv(r'ufo.csv')
df['Date_time'] = df['Date_time'].astype('datetime64[ns]')
now = pd.to_datetime('today')
print("Original Dataframe:")
print(df.head())
print("\nCurrent date:")
print(now)
Sample Output:
Original Dataframe: Date_time city ... latitude longitude 0 1910-06-01 15:00:00 wills point ... 32.709167 -96.008056 1 1920-06-11 21:00:00 cicero ... 40.123889 -86.013333 2 1929-07-05 14:00:00 buchanan (or burns) ... 43.642500 -118.627500 3 1931-06-01 13:00:00 abilene ... 38.917222 -97.213611 4 1939-06-01 20:00:00 waterloo ... 34.918056 -88.064167 [5 rows x 11 columns] Current date: 2019-07-11 11:48:54.827800

Python: Tips of the Day
F strings:
It is a common practice to add variables inside strings. F strings are by far the coolest way of doing it. To appreciate the f strings more, let's first perform the operation with the format function.
name = 'Owen' age = 25 print("{} is {} years old".format(name, age))
Output:
Owen is 25 years old
We specify the variables that go inside the curly braces by using the format function at the end. F strings allow for specifying the variables inside the string.
name = 'Owen' age = 25 print(f"{name} is {age} years old")
Output:
Owen is 25 years old
F strings are easier to follow and type. Moreover, they make the code more readable.
A, B, C = {2, 4, 6} print(A, B, C) A, B, C = ['p', 'q', 'r'] print(A, B, C)
Output:
2 4 6 p q r
