Introduction
In this project, we will create a digital clock application using Python and the Tkinter library. This clock will display both the current time and date, and it will allow the user to toggle between 12-hour and 24-hour time formats. We will split the code into multiple steps, starting with installing the required libraries and ending with running the project.
