Working with Dates and Times

Local datetime

Update the code to create a DateTime object for May 15, 2024 at 2:30 PM in the UTC+2 timezone.

python
dt = DateTime(2024, 5, 15, 14, 30, 0,
  #select:tzinfo=timezone(timedelta(hours=2))
)

  • ❏ timezone="UTC+2"

  • ❏ tz="UTC+2"

  • ✓ tzinfo=timezone(timedelta(hours=2))

  • ❏ timezone=timedelta(hours=2)

Hint

Remember that: - The timezone needs to be specified using the tzinfo parameter - You need to use the timezone class from the datetime module - The timezone offset is specified using a timedelta object

Solution

The correct answer is DateTime(2024, 5, 15, 14, 30, 0, tzinfo=timezone(timedelta(hours=2))).

The following code creates a DateTime object representing 2:30 PM on May 15, 2024 in the UTC+2 timezone:

python
from datetime import timezone, timedelta
from neo4j.time import DateTime

dt = DateTime(
  2024, 5, 15, 14, 30, 0,
  tzinfo=timezone(timedelta(hours=2))
)
