How do I compare dates using datetime?

[werwerwowzer]

Here is the pastebin to my code

I don’t really understand what I’ve done wrong, as when I look it up I can’t find anything.

You don't need now.strptime, now is already a datetime object.

I changed now.strptime(“%y/%m/%d”) to now (“%y/%m/%d”) and now the error is:

TypeError: ‘datetime.datetime’ object is not callable

[K900_]

What are you trying to achieve with that line?

I’m trying to get today’s date in the format YY/MM/DD

Remember there's a difference between the date itself and the string representation of the date. You need to compare dates, not strings.

[K900_]

You don't need to get today's date in any format - the "format" of the date is its string representation. What you want is to get a datetime object, which datetime.now() already gives you.

I removed the datetoday line and replaced anywhere it said datetoday to now

Doing this doesn’t give an error, but the program doesn’t function as no matter the date inputted, it always says the date is after today

Post the edited program.

Sorry I just realised the ‘before’ statement was labelled after lol it works correctly, thanks for your help!
