[Solved] How do I find the number of fridays between two dates(including both the dates) [closed]

by


Number of days between two dates:

import datetime
start = datetime.datetime.strptime(raw_input('Enter date in format yyyy,mm,dd : '), '%Y,%m,%d')
end = datetime.datetime.strptime(raw_input('Enter date in format yyyy,mm,dd:'), '%Y,%m,%d')
diff = end-start
print diff.days
>> 361

Getting number of Fridays:

# key 0 would be Monday as the start date is from Monday
days = {
    0: 0,
    1: 0,
    2: 0,
    3: 0,
    4: 0,
    5: 0,
    6: 0,
}
full_weeks = (diff.days) / 7
remainder = (diff.days) % 7
first_day = start.weekday()  # Start date is on Monday
for day in days.keys():
    days[day] = full_weeks
for i in range(0, remainder):
    days[(first_day + i) % 7] += 1
print days[4]  # Gives number of Fridays between the date range
>> 2
