age and the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds until their
next birthday.

38 For two people born on different days, there is a day when one is 3 4 10
twice as old as the other. That’s their Double Day. Write a program
that takes two birth dates and computes their Double Day.

boundary of the circle.

44 Create a Python program that simulates a number guessing 3 4 7

game. The program should randomly select an integer between
1 and 10. The user must guess the number, and the program
should provide feedback on whether the guess is too low, too
high, or correct. The game continues until the user guesses the
correct number and then displays the total number of attempts
taken.
