+# strftime

+I was working with `jq` when I was reading some documentation which referenced `strftime`, when _googling_ I found this Python resource, which helped me, eventhough I should propably have found one in JavaScript anyway, this one worked for me.

+`strftime` can convert a DateTime object to a string in a given format.
+
+```python
+from datetime import datetime
+
+now = datetime.now() # current date and time
+
+year = now.strftime("%Y")
+print("year:", year)
+
+month = now.strftime("%m")
+print("month:", month)
+
+day = now.strftime("%d")
+print("day:", day)
+
+time = now.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
+print("time:", time)
+
+date_time = now.strftime("%m/%d/%Y, %H:%M:%S")
+print("date and time:",date_time)
