Q.
Write a Python program using only loops
(no functions, no lists, no libraries/modules)
to input a date in the format DD/MM/YYYY
and output it in the format shown below.
You must calculate the day of the week by
counting days from a reference date using
loops only.
Input Format:
A single string representing the date, in
DD/MM/YYYY format (e.g., 19/03/1680).
Reference Hint:
Assume that 19th March 1680 was a Monday.
Output Format:
Display the date in the format:
Monday, the 19th March,1680
d = input("Enter date in DD/MM/YYYY format: ")
dd = int(d[0]) * 10 + int(d[1])
mm = int(d[3]) * 10 + int(d[4])
yy = int(d[6]) * 1000 + int(d[7]) * 100 + int(d[8]) * 10
+ int(d[9])

if (curr_year % 4 == 0 and curr_year % 100 != 0) or
(curr_year % 400 == 0):
total_days = total_days + 366
else:
total_days = total_days + 365
curr_year = curr_year + 1
curr_month = ref_month
while curr_month < mm:
if curr_month == 2:
if (yy % 4 == 0 and yy % 100 != 0) or (yy % 400
== 0):
total_days = total_days + 29
else:
total_days = total_days + 28

curr_month == 9 or curr_month == 11:
