Tried #DeepSeek and #ChatGPT to write Python code given the prompt given two integers in format of YYYYMM, produce python code that produce all months in between them in YYYYMM format. For example, given 202404 and 202411, produce a list of months between them.

DeepSeek

Here’s a Python function that takes two integers in the format YYYYMM and generates a list of all months in between them, inclusive:

```python from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def generate_months_between(start_ym, end_ym): # Convert the input integers to strings start_str = str(start_ym) end_str = str(end_ym)

# Parse the strings into datetime objects
start_date = datetime.strptime(start_str, "%Y%m")
end_date = datetime.strptime(end_str, "%Y%m")

# Initialize the list to store the months
months = []

# Iterate from the start date to the end date
current_date = start_date
while current_date <= end_date:
    # Append the current month in YYYYMM format
    months.append(current_date.strftime("%Y%m"))
    # Move to the next month
    if current_date.month == 12:
        current_date = current_date.replace(year=current_date.year + 1, month=1)
    else:
        current_date = current_date.replace(month=current_date.month + 1)

return months

Example usage

start_ym = 202404 end_ym = 202411 result = generate_months_between(start_ym, end_ym) print(result) ```

Output:

python ['202404', '202405', '202406', '202407', '202408', '202409', '202410', '202411']

Explanation:

1. Input Parsing: The function converts the input integers (YYYYMM) into strings and then parses them into datetime objects using strptime.
2. Iteration: It iterates from the start date to the end date, incrementing the month (and year if necessary) in each step.
3. Formatting: Each month is formatted back into the YYYYMM string format and added to the list.
4. Output: The function returns a list of all months in the specified range.

This code handles edge cases like transitioning from December to January and works for any valid range of months.

ChatGPT

Here's a Python function to generate all months between two given integers in YYYYMM format:

```python from datetime import datetime, timedelta

def generate_months(start_yyyymm, end_yyyymm): start_date = datetime.strptime(str(start_yyyymm), "%Y%m") end_date = datetime.strptime(str(end_yyyymm), "%Y%m")

months = []
while start_date <= end_date:
    months.append(start_date.strftime("%Y%m"))
    start_date = (start_date.replace(day=1) + timedelta(days=32)).replace(day=1)

return months

Example usage

print(generate_months(202404, 202411)) ```

Explanation:

1. Convert the integers into datetime objects.
2. Use a loop to increment the date by one month at a time.
3. Append each month to the list in YYYYMM format.
4. Stop when reaching the end_yyyymm.

Output:

python ['202404', '202405', '202406', '202407', '202408', '202409', '202410', '202411']
