Question

Python exercise grade 10

Write a program that determines which dates comes earlier on the calendar. The user

may enter any number of dates. The user will enter 0/0/0 to indicate that no more dates

will be entered

Example:
Enter a date (month): 3

Enter a date (date): 6

Enter a date (year): 2008

03/06/2008

Enter a date (month): 5

Enter a date (date): 17

Enter a date (year): 2007

05/17/2007

Enter a date (month): 6

Enter a date (date): 3

Enter a date (year): 2007

06/03/2007

Enter a date (month): 0

Enter a date (date): 0

Enter a date (year): 0

5/17/2007 is the earliest date

Answer 1

earliest = ""

while True:

month = int(input("Enter a date (month): "))

day = int(input("Enter a date (date): "))

year = int(input("Enter a date (year): "))

if month == 0 and day == 0 and year == 0:

break

if month < 10:

month = "0"+str(month)

if day < 10:

day = "0"+str(day)

string_date = str(month)+"/"+str(day)+"/"+str(year)

print(string_date)

if earliest == "":

earliest = string_date

else:

year,month,day=int(year),int(month),int(day)

lst = list(map(int,earliest.split("/")))

if year < lst[2]:

earliest = string_date

elif year == lst[2] and month < lst[0]:

earliest = string_date

elif year == lst[2] and lst[0] == month and day < lst[1]:

earliest = string_date

print(earliest,"is the earliest date")

I wrote my code in python 3.8. Best of luck.
