165.
Remember
| Date minus date: timedelta |
| Add timedelta(days=14) to move |
How many days are left for your exam? Python counts them. Subtract one date from another to get a timedelta, a gap in time. Dot days gives one hundred sixty five. Date minus date gives a timedelta. Add one to move a date.
