Prime Day Deals

Here are a few specific deals that caught our eye today. Note that these tend to sell out quickly on Prime Day, so the prices may have changed since we first spotted them.

And remember that you’ll need Amazon Prime to score the discounts. There’s a free 30-day trial if you aren’t already a member.

Here’s what we saw this morning:

Main takeaways: Lots of deals on tech. Lots of discounted laptops. Lots of discounted Apple products.

If you’ve been waiting for a computer upgrade, it’s worth checking out Prime day.

Python Age Calculator Project

We recently built a new Python project. This one focuses on calculating age. It’s a good project for beginners. Here’s the code. 

from datetime import date

def calculate_age(birthdate):
    today = date.today()
    
    # Calculate age in years
    age_years = today.year - birthdate.year - ((today.month, today.day) < (birthdate.month, birthdate.day))
    
    # Calculate age in months and days
    if today.month < birthdate.month or (today.month == birthdate.month and today.day < birthdate.day):
        age_months = (12 - birthdate.month) + today.month - 1
    else:
        age_months = today.month - birthdate.month
    
    # Calculate days
    if today.day < birthdate.day:
        # Go back one month to get the correct number of days
        # in the previous month
        month_ago = (today.month - 1) if today.month > 1 else 12
        days_in_month = (date(today.year, today.month, 1) - date(today.year, month_ago, 1)).days
        age_days = days_in_month - (birthdate.day - today.day)
    else:
        age_days = today.day - birthdate.day
    
    return age_years, age_months, age_days

def main():
    # Input birthdate from the user
    birthdate_str = input("Enter your birthdate (YYYY-MM-DD): ")
    year, month, day = map(int, birthdate_str.split('-'))
    birthdate = date(year, month, day)
    
    # Calculate age
    age_years, age_months, age_days = calculate_age(birthdate)
    
    # Output the age
    print(f"You are {age_years} years, {age_months} months, and {age_days} days old.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

And, of course, you can read our full guide to learn the why behind the code.
