Calculate Days from Today

Introduction

In Python, you can easily calculate the date of n days from today using the datetime module. In this challenge, you will be asked to write a function that takes an integer n as input and returns the date of n days from today.

Days from now

Write a function days_from_now(n) that takes an integer n as input and returns the date of n days from today.

To solve this problem, you can follow these steps:

1. Import the datetime module.
2. Use the date.today() method to get the current date.
3. Use the timedelta method to add n days to the current date.
4. Return the new date.

from datetime import timedelta, date

def days_from_now(n):
  return date.today() + timedelta(n)

days_from_now(5) ## date(2020, 11, 02)

Summary

In this challenge, you learned how to calculate the date of n days from today using the datetime module in Python. You can use this function to perform various date calculations in your Python programs.
