Complete the code to implement the following operations: Complete read_date(): Read an input string representing a date in the format yyyy-mm-dd. Create a date object from the input string. Return the date object. Call read_date() to read four (unique) date objects and store the date objects in a list. Call sorted() to sort the list of date objects, earliest first. Store the sorted dates in a new list. Output the sorted_dates, in the format mm/dd/yy. Hint: Use strftime() to format the date outputs. (See resource below.) Output the number of days between the last two dates in the sorted list as a positive number. Output the date that is 3 weeks from the most recent date in the format "July 4, 1776". Hint: Use timedelta() to set a duration of time for the arithmetic on date objects. (See resources below.) Ex: timedelta(days=50, seconds=27, hours=8, weeks=2) will define a duration of 50 days + 27 seconds + 8 hours + 2 weeks. Output the full name of the day of the week of the earliest day.

Question

11.8 LAB: Dates

 

Complete the code to implement the following operations:

  1. Complete read_date():
    • Read an input string representing a date in the format yyyy-mm-dd.
    • Create a date object from the input string.
    • Return the date object.
  2. Call read_date() to read four (unique) date objects and store the date objects in a list.
  3. Call sorted() to sort the list of date objects, earliest first. Store the sorted dates in a new list.
  4. Output the sorted_dates, in the format mm/dd/yy.
    • Hint: Use strftime() to format the date outputs. (See resource below.)
  5. Output the number of days between the last two dates in the sorted list as a positive number.
  6. Output the date that is 3 weeks from the most recent date in the format "July 4, 1776".
    • Hint: Use timedelta() to set a duration of time for the arithmetic on date objects. (See resources below.)
      Ex: timedelta(days=50, seconds=27, hours=8, weeks=2) will define a duration of 50 days + 27 seconds + 8 hours + 2 weeks.
  7. Output the full name of the day of the week of the earliest day.

Code I have so far:

from datetime import date,timedelta

def read_date():
    inputDate=input()
    listDate=inputDate.split("-")
    x = date(int(listDate[0]),int(listDate[1]),int(listDate[2]))
    return x


DateObject=[]
print()
for i in range(4):
    DateObject.append(read_date())
    
DateObject.sort()
print()
for i in DateObject:
    print(i.strftime("%m/%d/%Y"))
    
print((DateObject[3]-DateObject[2]).days)
d = timedelta(days=21)
t= DateObject[-1]+d
print(t.strftime("%B %d, %Y"))
print(DateObject[0].strftime("%A"))

error I am getting:

it says that for all of my outputs I have two lines before the text in my output:

Input
2022-01-27
2022-07-04
2020-12-31
2022-07-29
Your output starts with
 
 
12/31/2020
01/27/2022
07/04/2022
07/29/2022
Expected output starts with
12/31/2020
01/27/2022
07/04/2022
07/29/2022
