Checks if the given date is a weekend.
|
|
|
|
- Use `datetime.datetime.weekday()` to get the day of the week as an integer.
|
|
- Check if the day of the week is greater than `4`.
|
|
- Omit the second argument, `d`, to use a default value of `datetime.today()`.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
from datetime import datetime
|
|
|
|
def is_weekend(d = datetime.today()):
|
|
return d.weekday() > 4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
from datetime import date
|
|
|
|
is_weekend(date(2020, 10, 25)) # True
|
|
is_weekend(date(2020, 10, 28)) # False
|
|
```
