Question

Having problems with what should be a “no brainer” LC.

Code snippet below:

def daterange(start_date, end_date):
    for n in range((end_date - start_date).days):
        yield start_date + dt.timedelta(n)


def get_workdays_between_dates(start_date, end_date):
    return [x in daterange(start_date, end_date) if x.date.weekday() in range(0,7)]

Python barfs a ‘SyntaxError: invalid syntax error’ when parsing function get_workdays_between_dates(). It looks ok to me though …

What’s wrong with the code?

Answer 1

What’s x? 🙂 Yes, that’s an invalid syntax, you are missing the for part.

[x for x in daterange(start_date, end_date) if x.date.weekday() in range(0,7)]
