Pandas: Date from a given year, month, day and date from a given string formats


3. Date Parsing from Components

Write a Pandas program to create a date from a given year, month, day and another date from a given string formats.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

from datetime import datetime
date1 = datetime(year=2020, month=12, day=25)
print("Date from a given year, month, day:")
print(date1)
from dateutil import parser
date2 = parser.parse("1st of January, 2021")
print("\nDate from a given string formats:")
print(date2)

Sample Output:

Date from a given year, month, day:
2020-12-25 00:00:00

Date from a given string formats:
2021-01-01 00:00:00

  • Write a Pandas program to parse a date string with multiple possible formats using pd.to_datetime and then display the month.
  • Write a Pandas program to create two Timestamp objects – one from numeric components and one from a string – and compare which is earlier.
  • Write a Pandas program to parse an ambiguous date string by explicitly setting the dayfirst parameter and output the resulting datetime.
