#python #time #module

# ***************************************************************************
import time
# ***************************************************************************
print(time.ctime(0)) # convert a time expressed in seconds since epoch to a readable string
# epoch = when your computer thinks time began (reference point)
print(time.time()) # return current seconds since epoch
print(time.ctime(time.time())) # will get current time

# ***************************************************************************
# time.strftime(format, time_object) = formats a time_object to a string
# time_object = time.localtime() # local time
# time_object = time.gmtime() # UTC time
# local_time = time.strftime("%B %d %Y %H:%M:%S", time_object)
# print(local_time)

# ***************************************************************************
# time.strptime(string_string, format) = parses a string representing time/date and returns a struct_time object
# time_string = "20 April, 2020"
# time_object = time.strptime(time_string,"%d %B, %Y")
# print(time_object)

# ***************************************************************************
# time.asctime(time_tuple) = accepts a time_object or a tuple up to 9 elements and returns a string
# (year, month, day, hours, minutes, secs, #day of the week, #day of the year, dst)
# time_tuple = (2020, 4, 20, 4, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0)
# time_string = time.asctime(time_tuple)
# print(time_string)

# ***************************************************************************
# time.asctime(time_tuple) = accepts a time_object or a tuple up to 9 elements and return seconds since epoch
# (year, month, day, hours, minutes, secs, #day of the week, #day of the year, dst)
# time_tuple = (2020, 4, 20, 4, 20, 0, 0, 0, 0)
# time_string = time.mktime(time_tuple)
# print(time_string)
