Some of calendar functions are discussed in the Set 1
1. monthrange(year, month) :- This function returns
two integers, first, the starting day number of week(0 as monday) , second, the number of days in the month.
2. prcal(year, w, l, c) :- This function also
prints the calendar of specific year but there is no need of "print" operation to execute this.
Python
# Python code to demonstrate the working of
# monthrange() and prcal()
# importing calendar module for calendar operations
import calendar
# using monthrange() to print start week day and
# number of month
print ("The start week number and no. of days of month : ",end="")
print (calendar.monthrange(2008, 2))
# using prcal() to print calendar of 1997
print ("The calendar of 1997 is : ")
calendar.prcal(1997, 2,1,6)
Output:
The start week number and no. of days of month : (4, 29)
