use of format function - barryjo - Jan-31-2022
In the following code, s is returned as an integer
The output is 1
How do I convert the integer s into a string with two decimal places.
i.e. I would like to print the month as 01 not 1
I assume I need a statement such as..
s = format(???????) before the print statement,.
import datetime current_time = datetime.datetime.now() s = current_time.month print(s)

Like thiis:
import datetime
current_time = datetime.datetime.now()
s = current_time.month
print(f'{s:02}')
