It is common to start countdowns 100 days prior to an event, probably because of our base 10 system. Examples of this can be found everywhere:

  • 100 days until your birthday
  • 100 days until the wedding
  • 100 days until the election
  • 100 days until our graduation
  • 100 days until her due date
  • 100 days until football season
  • 100 days until you get the Fanatic badge

You get the picture. It seems that the 100th day before an event is second place only to the actual event. So for this challenge, I need to know what the date will be in 100 days, so that I can determine what I should start counting down too.

Input

No input

Output

The date 100 days from the current date based on the standard Gregorian Calendar (Make sure to account for leap years). Output is flexible as long as the date format is human read-able (eg 2016-10-8, 10-8-16, [ 2016, 10, 8 ], 10/8/16 12:00:00 AM).

    \$\begingroup\$ @GB When you output the future date, the format is flexible (could include timestamp) as long as it is human readable. However, current time/date is not acceptable. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ "Because of our bas 10 system"? No, if we counted in binary, we'd likely count down from 100 - except that would take only four days, rather than a hundred... \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ We treat REPLs as a separate language. So if your code requires a REPL to execute, you should list it as "R REPL" or something similar. In the same way, "Hello, World!" is not a valid "Hello World" program in Python, since it requires print in front to actually print to STDOUT in a non-repl environment. \$\endgroup\$

AWK, 43 bytes

BEGIN{print strftime("%F",systime()+864e4)}

Could save a few bytes if run using some input... maybe... using something like:

{$0=strftime("%F",systime()+864e4)}1

and running the code like:

awk '{$0=strftime("%F",systime()+864e4)}1'<<<1

But then we have to account for the bytes used to do that. So I'll stick with simplicity :)

Wolfram Language, 19 bytes

DatePlus[Today,100]

Kinda self-explanatory but let's explain.

DatePlus (From Wolfram Language Reference)

DatePlus[date,{n,"unit"}] gives the date n units after date.

Possible offset units are "Year", "Quarter", "Month", "Week", "Day", "Hour", "Minute", "Second", "Weekday", "Weekend", Monday through Sunday, "EndOfMonth", and "BusinessDay".

Offsets can also be specified using the Quantity framework.

{y,m,d} is taken to be equivalent to {y,m,d,0,0,0} etc.

DatePlus[date,offset] gives results in the same general format as date.

When date is a list, the result has the same length as date, possibly extended to include the smallest unit in offset. »

When date is a string, the result is in the form specified by $DateStringFormat.

Today (From Wolfram Language Reference)

Today
 gives a DateObject representing the current day.


So basically, it just adds 100 days to the current date. See screenshot below.

    \$\begingroup\$ Welcome to PPCG! Just because NodeJS is a server framework, you don't have to make a server to display the output. Something as simple as console.log would suffice for outputting the result :) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @ConorO'Brien true, but I thought it may worth an entry to show, how NodeJS can utilize the same result with it's intended purpose. However, you may argue, whether http server is the sole purpose of the framework, so I admit it may have been unnecessary. \$\endgroup\$
