This script defines a function calculate_due_date() that takes the last period date as input and calculates the estimated due date of pregnancy. It assumes a 280-day average pregnancy duration and adds 280 days to the last period date to calculate the due date.
In the example usage section, the script demonstrates how to use the function by providing a sample last period date. It then prints the estimated due date.
You can modify the last_period_date variable to calculate the estimated due date based on different last period dates.
