So, I started this little project, you know, just messing around with some code for a birthday reminder thingy. It’s for February 9th, and I figured I’d share how I did it, step by step.
Getting Started
First, I needed a place to write my code.I opened up my trusty text editor. Nothing fancy, just a place to type.
The Basic Idea
I wanted something super simple. Basically, I decided to store the birthday date, February 9th, and then have the program check if today’s date matches. If it does, it displays a birthday message. Easy peasy, right?
Coding It Up
- I created some variables to store the month and day. I literally just typed:
month = 2andday = 9. - Then, I grabbed the current date.
- Next up, the comparison. I used a simple “if” statement. It basically says, “If the current month and day are the same as my stored month and day, then do something.”
- That “something” was just displaying a message. I wrote something like, “Happy Birthday!”
Testing It Out
I ran the code. Of course, I might be test it on the days not Feb 9, it showed nothing. Then, I try to make it as it was in Feb 9, see what happened.
The Result
It worked! when I make it as the time on Feb 9, It showed the “Happy Birthday!” message. I was pretty stoked. It’s a small thing, but it felt good to build something from scratch, even if it’s super basic.
That’s pretty much it! It was a fun little experiment, and I hope this walkthrough was helpful or at least interesting. Maybe it’ll inspire you to try something similar. Just start small, and build from there!
