print(datetime.date.today().strftime('%d/%m/%Y'))
# Create a date object
miyazakiBirthDate = datetime.date(1941, 1, 5)
print(miyazakiBirthDate.strftime('%d/%m/%Y'))
# Date arithmetic operations
miyazakiBirthNextDay = miyazakiBirthDate + datetime.timedelta(days=1)
print(miyazakiBirthNextDay.strftime('%d/%m/%Y'))
# Date replacement
miyazakiFirstBirthday = miyazakiBirthDate.replace(year=miyazakiBirthDate.year + 1)
print(miyazakiFirstBirthday.strftime('%d/%m/%Y'))
