Digital Clock using python

Digital Clock :

using python:

code:

import tkinter as tk

import time

# Function to update the clock every second

def time_update():

    current_time = time.strftime('%H:%M:%S %p')

    current_date = time.strftime('%d:%m:%Y')

    hours, minutes, seconds, period = current_time.split(':')[:2] + current_time.split(':')[2].split()

    day, month, year = current_date.split(':')

    hours_label.config(text=hours)

    minutes_label.config(text=minutes)

    seconds_label.config(text=seconds)

    period_label.config(text=period)

    day_label.config(text=day)

    month_label.config(text=month)

    year_label.config(text=year)

    clock.after(1000, time_update)

# Start the clock

time_update()

# Run the application

clock.mainloop()

3. Run the program in PyCharm.

This code creates a simple digital clock that updates every second. Here's a breakdown of the key parts of the code:

• The time_update function gets the current time using time.strftime and updates the text of clock_label with the current time. The clock_label.after(1000, time_update) line schedules the time_update function to be called again after 1000 milliseconds (1 second), ensuring the clock updates every second.

• The clock object is the main window, and clock_label is the label that displays the time.

• The clock.title('Digital Clock') and clock.geometry('500x200') lines set the title and size of the main window, respectively.

• The clock.configure(bg='black') and clock_label.config(bg='black', fg='white') lines set the background color of the window and the label, and the text color of the label, respectively.

This should display a digital clock in a window, updating every second.

- Frames for the day, month, and year are added with specific widths and heights.

- Labels for each of these new frames display the current day, month, and year.

- The `time_update` function is updated to fetch and split the current date into day, month, and year, and update the corresponding labels.

- Padding is applied to the labels and frames to create space and better layout.
