Extract hour from time
In this section, we will extract hours from extracted time from the DateTime object, all the 3 steps are the same as in the previous example, In this example, we will add the .hour method to extract hours from DateTime object.
We have to extract time, so the next part is to extract hours from DateTime object, by calling the .hour method.
Syntax : .hour
Return : It will return the hour from timestamp.
Below is the implementation:
Python3
# import important module import datetime from datetime import datetime # Create datetime string datetime_str = "31OCT2020231032" # call datetime.strptime to convert # it into datetime datatype datetime_obj = datetime.strptime(datetime_str, "%d%b%Y%H%M%S") # It will print the datetime object print("date time : {}".format(datetime_obj)) # extract the time from datetime_obj time = datetime_obj.time() # it will print time that # we have extracted from datetime obj print("Time : {}".format(time)) # extract hour from time hour = time.hour print("Hour : {}".format(hour)) |
Output:
date time : 2020-10-31 23:10:32 Time : 23:10:32 Hour : 23
Extract time from datetime in Python
In this article, we are going to see how to extract time from DateTime in Python.
In Python, there is no such type of datatype as DateTime, first, we have to create our data into DateTime format and then we will convert our DateTime data into time. A Python module is used to convert the data into DateTime format, but in the article, we will be using the datetime module to do this task.
Syntax: datetime.strptime()
Parameters :
- arg: It can be integer, float, tuple, Series, Dataframe to convert into datetime as its datatype
- format: This will be str, but the default is None. The strftime to parse time, eg “%d/%m/%Y”, note that “%f” will parse all the way up to nanoseconds.
e.g – > format = “%Y%b%d%H%M%S”
e.g., datetime_obj = datetime.strptime(“19022002101010″,”%d%m%Y%H%M%S”) # It will return the datetime object.
