Congratulations! You’ve learned the fundamental concepts surrounding date and time. It’s time for you to apply your newfound knowledge in your real world applications.
In this course, you learned how to:
- Use a floating point number, representing seconds elapsed since the epoch, to deal with time
- Manage time using tuples and
struct_time
objects - Convert between seconds, tuples, and timestamp strings

perf_counter()
If you want to continue learning more about using dates and times in Python, take a look at the following modules:
datetime
: A more robust date and time module in Python’s standard librarytimeit
: A module for measuring the performance of code snippetsastropy
: Higher precision datetimes used in astronomy
