Python - Find number of days between two sting dates

To find the number of days between 2 dates in python, we just need to find the difference as below.
Copied

from datetime import datetime date1 = datetime(2022, 1, 15) date2 = datetime(2022, 5, 25) print((date2 - date1).days)
Output: 130

If dates are in string format, we will have to convert those before finding the difference.
This sample uses date in mm-dd-yy format.
For more samples on string to date conversion refer Convert String to Datetime - All Formats

from datetime import datetime

stringdate1 = "02-25-22"
stringdate2 = "03-14-22"

formatteddate1 = datetime.strptime(stringdate1, '%m-%d-%y')
formatteddate2 = datetime.strptime(stringdate2, '%m-%d-%y')

print((formatteddate2 - formatteddate1).days)

Output: 17
