Getting the Current Date and Time

Getting the Current Date and Time

To retrieve the current date and time, we can use a function called datetime.now() to get that information.

In a later course, you'll learn all aboutfunctions. For now, just know thatdatetime.now() calls on a piece of code that comes with Python that figures out the current date and time for us.

from datetime import datetime
now=datetime.now()
print now

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Create a variable called now and store the result of datetime.now() in it. We'll use this variable in the next exercise.

2. Go ahead and print the value of the variable now.
