Time travel calculator

This program calculates times base on year difference * a multiplier.

from datetime import datetime as dt
from decimal import Decimal
from random import randint, choice
from custom_module import generate_time_travel_message

# Needs to be a string
base_cost = Decimal("5000")

# Current year
current_year = dt.today().year
target_year = randint(2025, 2125)

# Calculate difference
cost_multiplier = abs(current_year - target_year)

# Combine cost with year difference
travel_cost = base_cost * cost_multiplier

# Destinations
destination = ["Amsterdam", "London", "Paris", "Berlin", "Madrid"]

# Print random destitnation and year with cost
print(generate_time_travel_message(target_year, choice(destination), travel_cost))

Datetime module

current_year = datetime.today().year can be used to call the current year like 2024. Where datetime.now().time() 08:29:13.629542. https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html

Random module

Using from random import randint, choice its possible to select an random integer and choosing a random item within a list.

• target_year = randint(2025, 2125)

• choice(destination) or random.choice(destination)
