Calculates the month difference between two dates.
|
|
|
|
- Subtract `start` from `end` and use `datetime.timedelta.days` to get the day difference.
|
|
- Divide by `30` and use `math.ceil()` to get the difference in months (rounded up).
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
from math import ceil
|
|
|
|
def months_diff(start, end):
|
|
return ceil((end - start).days / 30)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
from datetime import date
|
|
|
|
months_diff(date(2020, 10, 28), date(2020, 11, 25)) # 1
|
|
```
