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 that

datetime.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

Create a variable called

now

and
store the result of

datetime.now()

in
it. We'll use this variable in the next exercise.

Go ahead and print the value of the variable

now

.
