Need a date? Write a program that uses the dateTime module to calculate the date for any given number of days after (or before) the current date.
Hints
Start with import "dateTime" (in Mini Micro, Farmtronics, or command-line MiniScript). This provides methods to convert back and forth between two ways of representing a date/time:
- A numeric value, the number of seconds since January 1, 2000; and
- A string value like
"2022-08-13 14:03:39"
The dateTime.nowVal and dateTime.now functions return the current date in each of these formats. With the numeric format, you can simply add the number of seconds in a day, multiplied by the number of days of interest, to get the numeric representation of the target date. Use dateTime.str to convert this to string format.
Finally, to print just the date and ignore the time, simply truncate the date string to the first 10 characters (using the slice operator).
