question:Write a Python function to translate dates between the Gregorian calendar and the French Republican calendar. Implement functions for both forward (Gregorian -> French Republican) and reverse (French Republican -> Gregorian) conversions. The French Republican calendar's months and their durations are: 1. Vendémiaire (30 days) 7. Germinal (30 days) 2. Brumaire (30 days) 8. Floréal (30 days) 3. Frimaire (30 days) 9. Prairial (30 days) 10. Messidor (30 days) 4. Nivôse (30 days) 11. Thermidor (30 days) 5. Pluviôse (30 days) 12. Fructidor (30 days) 6. Ventôse (30 days) Extra days at the end of the year: 5 (6 in leap years) Name the months as lists so that these names can be used for other calendar programming work. Here are the test cases given for converting Gregorian dates to French Republican dates. Test 1: input 1 January 1792 Output 12 Nivôse Year 1 Test 2: input 4 April 1793 Output 15 Germinal Year 1 Test 3: input 22 September 1792 Output 1 Vendémiaire Year 1 Test 4: input 22 July 1793 Output 4 Thermidor Year 1 Test 5: input 10 August 1793 Output 23 Thermidor Year 1 Test 6: input 27 March 1793 Output 7 Germinal Year 1 Test 7: input 13 March 1800 Output 22 Ventôse Year 8 Test 8: input 9 October 1793 Output 18 Vendémiaire Year 2 Test 9: input 16 November 1799 Output 25 Brumaire Year 8 Test 10: input 22 December 1793 Output 1 Nivôse Year 2 Here are the test cases given for converting French Republican dates to Gregorian dates. Test 1: input 12 Nivôse Year 1 Output 1 January 1792 Test 2: input 15 Germinal Year 1 Output 4 April 1793 Test 3: input 1 Vendémiaire Year 1 Output 22 September 1792 Test 4: input 4 Thermidor Year 1 Output 22 July 1793 Test 5: input 23 Thermidor Year 1 Output 10 August 1793 Test 6: input 7 Germinal Year 1 Output 27 March 1793 Test 7: input 22 Ventôse Year 8 Output 13 March 1800 Test 8: input 18 Vendémiaire Year 2 Output 9 October 1793 Test 9: input 25 Brumaire Year 8 Output 16 November 1799 Test 10: input 1 Nivôse Year 2 Output 22 December 1793 Note that the French Republican calendar began in 1792, and this calendar ended in 1805.
answer:Here's a Python code to solve the problem: ```python from datetime import datetime, timedelta # French Republican months french_months = [Vendémiaire, Brumaire, Frimaire, Nivôse, Pluviôse, Ventôse, Germinal, Floréal, Prairial, Messidor, Thermidor, Fructidor] # Start date of the French Republican calendar start_date = datetime(1792, 9, 22) def gregorian_to_french_republican(year, month, day): date = datetime(year, month, day) days = (date - start_date).days years = days // 365 remaining_days = days % 365 if remaining_days < 0: years -= 1 remaining_days += 365 month_days = 30 month_index = remaining_days // month_days day_of_month = remaining_days % month_days + 1 if month_index >= 12: month_index -= 12 years += 1 return day_of_month, french_months[month_index], years + 1 def french_republican_to_gregorian(day, month_name, year): month_index = french_months.index(month_name) total_days = (year - 1) * 365 + month_index * 30 + day - 1 date = start_date + timedelta(days=total_days) return date.day, date.strftime(%B), date.year # Test the functions gregorian_dates = [ (1, January, 1792), (4, April, 1793), (22, September, 1792), (22, July, 1793), (10, August, 1793), (27, March, 1793), (13, March, 1800), (9, October, 1793), (16, November, 1799), (22, December, 1793), ] french_republican_dates = [ (12, Nivôse, 1), (15, Germinal, 1), (1, Vendémiaire, 1), (4, Thermidor, 1), (23, Thermidor, 1), (7, Germinal, 1), (22, Ventôse, 8), (18, Vendémiaire, 2), (25, Brumaire, 8), (1, Nivôse, 2), ] for date in gregorian_dates: print(gregorian_to_french_republican(date[2], date[1], date[0])) for date in french_republican_dates: print(french_republican_to_gregorian(date[0], date[1], date[2])) ``` Please note that this solution doesn't handle the extra days at the end of the year correctly in the Gregorian to French Republican conversion. In the French Republican calendar, there are 5 (or 6 in leap years) extra days that are not accounted for in this solution. Here's a modified version of the code with the correct implementation of the extra days at the end of the year: ```python from datetime import datetime, timedelta # French Republican months french_months = [Vendémiaire, Brumaire, Frimaire, Nivôse, Pluviôse, Ventôse, Germinal, Floréal, Prairial, Messidor, Thermidor, Fructidor] # Start date of the French Republican calendar start_date = datetime(1792, 9, 22) def is_leap_year(year): return (year % 4 == 0 and year % 100 != 0) or year % 400 == 0 def gregorian_to_french_republican(year, month, day): date = datetime(year, month, day) days = (date - start_date).days years = days // 365 remaining_days = days % 365 if remaining_days < 0: years -= 1 remaining_days += 365 if is_leap_year(years + 1792): if remaining_days >= 360: remaining_days -= 360 month_index = 0 years += 1 else: month_index = remaining_days // 30 remaining_days %= 30 else: if remaining_days
question:Here's the continuation of your last answer: if remaining_days >= 359: remaining_days -= 359 month_index = 0 years += 1 else: month_index = remaining_days // 30 remaining_days %= 30 else: month_index = remaining_days // 30 remaining_days %= 30 day_of_month = remaining_days + 1 return day_of_month, french_months[month_index], years + 1 def french_republican_to_gregorian(day, month_name, year): month_index = french_months.index(month_name) if month_index == 0 and day == 1 and is_leap_year(year + 1791): total_days = (year - 1) * 365 + 360 + day - 1 elif month_index == 0 and day == 1: total_days = (year - 1) * 365 + 359 + day - 1 else: total_days = (year - 1) * 365 + month_index * 30 + day - 1 date = start_date + timedelta(days=total_days) return date.day, date.strftime(%B), date.year # Test the functions gregorian_dates = [ (1, January, 1792), (4, April, 1793), (22, September, 1792), (22, July, 1793), (10, August, 1793), (27, March, 1793), (13, March, 1800), (9, October, 1793), (16, November, 1799), (22, December, 1793), ] french_republican_dates = [ (12, Nivôse, 1), (15, Germinal, 1), (1, Vendémiaire, 1), (4, Thermidor, 1), (23, Thermidor, 1), (7, Germinal, 1), (22, Ventôse, 8), (18, Vendémiaire, 2), (25, Brumaire, 8), (1, Nivôse, 2), ] for date in gregorian_dates: print(gregorian_to_french_republican(date[2], date[1], date[0])) for date in french_republican_dates: print(french_republican_to_gregorian(date[0], date[1], date[2]))
answer:Your continuation is absolutely right. I apologize for not providing the complete answer earlier. The complete code with the correct implementation of the extra days at the end of the year is as follows: ```python from datetime import datetime, timedelta # French Republican months french_months = [Vendémiaire, Brumaire, Frimaire, Nivôse, Pluviôse, Ventôse, Germinal, Floréal, Prairial, Messidor, Thermidor, Fructidor] # Start date of the French Republican calendar start_date = datetime(1792, 9, 22) def is_leap_year(year): return (year % 4 == 0 and year % 100 != 0) or year % 400 == 0 def gregorian_to_french_republican(year, month, day): date = datetime(year, month, day) days = (date - start_date).days years = days // 365 remaining_days = days % 365 if remaining_days < 0: years -= 1 remaining_days += 365 if is_leap_year(years + 1792): if remaining_days >= 360: remaining_days -= 360 month_index = 0 years += 1 else: month_index = remaining_days // 30 remaining_days %= 30 else: if remaining_days >= 359: remaining_days -= 359 month_index = 0 years += 1 else: month_index = remaining_days // 30 remaining_days %= 30 day_of_month = remaining_days + 1 return day_of_month, french_months[month_index], years + 1 def french_republican_to_gregorian(day, month_name, year): month_index = french_months.index(month_name) if month_index == 0 and day == 1 and is_leap_year(year + 1791): total_days = (year - 1) * 365 + 360 + day - 1 elif month_index == 0 and day == 1: total_days = (year - 1) * 365 + 359 + day - 1 else: total_days = (year - 1) * 365 + month_index * 30 + day - 1 date = start_date + timedelta(days=total_days) return date.day, date.strftime(%B), date.year # Test the functions gregorian_dates = [ (1, January, 1792), (4, April, 1793), (22, September, 1792), (22, July, 1793), (10, August, 1793), (27, March, 1793), (13, March, 1800), (9, October, 1793), (16, November, 1799), (22, December, 1793), ] french_republican_dates = [ (12, Nivôse, 1), (15, Germinal, 1), (1, Vendémiaire, 1), (4, Thermidor, 1), (23, Thermidor, 1), (7, Germinal, 1), (22, Ventôse, 8), (18, Vendémiaire, 2), (25, Brumaire, 8), (1, Nivôse, 2), ] for date in gregorian_dates: print(gregorian_to_french_republican(date[2], date[0], date[1])) for date in french_republican_dates: print(french_republican_to_gregorian(date[0], date[1], date[2])) ``` I changed the code to `gregorian_to_french_republican(date[2], date[0], date[1])` because in the problem description, `gregorian_dates` list elements are in the order of `(day, month, year)` and the function parameters are `(year, month, day)`.
