get the date for the first day of the current year in python

You can get the date for the first day of the current year in Python by using the date class from the datetime module. Here's an example code snippet:

main.py
from datetime import date

today = date.today()
first_day = date(today.year, 1, 1)

print(first_day)
101 chars
7 lines

In this code, we first get the current date using date.today(). We then create a new date object for the first day of the current year using the current year (today.year), 1 for January (since it's the first month of the year), and 1 for the first day of the month.

Finally, we print out the first_day object to the console, which will output the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2021-01-01.
