Small Census counts are randomly adjusted for privacy, which is why each figure here is copied as published rather than added up from other rows. Signature project ## The loop that skipped August Transport for NSW publishes one row per station per month. The task: read 23 months of Homebush Station entries in order, then compare each month with the same month a year earlier. | Step | Date reached | Month wanted | Month read | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 0 | 1 October 2024 | October 2024 | October 2024 | | 1 | 31 October 2024 | November 2024 | October 2024 | | 2 | 30 November 2024 | December 2024 | November 2024 | | 22 | 23 July 2026 | August 2026 | July 2026 | ### One step in 23 Only step 0 reads the intended month. Every later step lands one month behind, because the average month is longer than 30 days. ### A silent duplicate The loop reads 22 distinct months, and October 2024, with 94,155 entries, is counted twice. Nothing crashes, so nothing warns the programmer. ### The wrong August The last row is labelled August 2026 but holds 95,452, July's count. The real August figure, 97,496, never appears. | Month | Entries | Same month a year earlier | Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | August 2026 | 97,496 | 90,912 | +7.24% | | May 2026 | 97,300 | 90,479 | +7.54% | | November 2025 | 93,308 | 95,699 | -2.50% | ### The fix Turn each date into a month number, year times 12 plus month minus one, add the months you want, and split it back with divmod. The same idea handles "a year earlier" safely: subtracting 365 days from 1 March 2024 gives 2 March 2023, because 2024 is a leap year. The counts are Transport for NSW's published monthly entries for Homebush Station. The step table and percentage changes are our own calculation; they describe the data, not the reasons behind any change. Why it matters ## Dates break more programs than maths does Billing runs, school timetables, payroll and dashboards all step through months. A 30-day shortcut fails quietly in each of them. | Method | From 31 January | Problem | | --- | --- | --- | | Add 30 days | 2 March in a normal year | Skips February entirely | | Replace the month number | Error: 31 February does not exist | Crashes on month ends | | Month index with divmod, on the first of the month | 1 February | None for monthly data | Learners write all three, run them over two full years and write a test that asserts every month appears exactly once. The test fails for the first two methods and passes for the third. That habit, writing the check that would have caught the bug, is the real lesson. ### Children Count the days in each month on a calendar and find why "every 30 days" drifts away from the 1st. ### Teenagers Use Python's datetime module on the real station file and test the loop. ### Adults Handle time zones, month ends and daylight saving in reporting code. The station counts, Census tables and boundaries come from Transport for NSW and the statistics bureau. Neither body, nor Strathfield Council, is connected with Modern Age Coders. Around Homebush ## A station busiest in March, and small families A few more facts from the station file and the Census. ### Peak month March 2026 was Homebush Station's busiest month in the file, 101,807 entries, the only month above 100,000. ### Quietest month January 2025 had the fewest entries of the 23 months, 79,387. ### Small families Families with children in Homebush had 1.5 children on average at the 2021 Census, and households held 2.5 people. No reasons claimed The monthly file gives counts only. This page reports when Homebush Station was busier or quieter and does not guess why. Learning ladder ## From counting calendar days to time-series code Treat the ages loosely; where a learner begins is decided in the trial lesson.

[Python Masterclass](/courses/python-programming-masterclass-zero-to-advanced-college)[Data Analysis Course](/courses/data-analysis-mastery-course-college)Coding and AI ## If an AI writes the date loop, will a Homebush learner spot the bug? Only if they know what a month really is in code. Ask an assistant to step through monthly data and it may well write timedelta(days=30). The code runs, the chart draws, and one month is silently counted twice while another disappears. A learner who has watched August 2026 vanish knows to ask for a test that every month appears once. That one habit protects every report an AI helps to build. In 2026 the Homebush learners who test AI-written code against real data will be the ones whose numbers are trusted. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## Online lessons for Homebush homes Every class is live with a teacher and joined from home, so there is no commute. ### Joined from home A laptop or desktop and headphones are all that is needed. ### School holidays Families can pause lessons for the NSW school holidays. ### A free start One full lesson free, then a recommended course and lesson time. ### Groups or private Join fifteen to twenty learners at the same level, or learn alone with a teacher. ### Twice weekly Two fixed lessons a week, around eight in a month, with breaks planned ahead. ### India time A 7pm Homebush lesson starts at 1:30pm India time in daylight saving and 2:30pm after it ends. Daylight saving dates Sydney clocks move forward on Sunday 4 October 2026 and back on Sunday 4 April 2027; India keeps one time all year. Every timetable is written in Sydney time. Fees ## Homebush class fees Three figures cover everything. First class**USD 0** The first lesson is free and finishes with a clear recommendation. Group tuition**USD 100** Group places cover two lessons every week, so about eight a month, alongside fifteen to twenty classmates of similar level.

Homebush had 11,660 residents at the 2021 Census, in 3,049 families and 5,217 private dwellings, according to the bureau's QuickStats. ### Why is adding 30 days not the same as adding a month? Adding 30 days to a date does not move it one calendar month, because months have 28 to 31 days. Stepping through months that way drifts, so some months are read twice and others are skipped. ### What is the Homebush station project? Learners read 23 months of Transport for NSW entry counts for Homebush Station with a 30-day loop, find that October 2024 is read twice and August 2026 never, and then fix the loop with true month arithmetic. ### How should Python add a month to a date? For monthly data, convert the year and month to a single month number, add the months, and split it back with divmod, keeping the day as the 1st. Libraries such as dateutil also provide relativedelta for this. ### Is this linked to NSW school subjects? Our Python teaching overlaps with what NSW students meet in Digital Technologies and often goes beyond it. We are not part of any school or the department. ### Is any experience needed? None. Six-year-olds start by dragging blocks, and teenagers or adults who have never coded start directly in Python. ### Can adults learn Python with you? Yes. Adults learn in their own groups or privately, often to automate reports or move into data roles. ### Do you have a centre in Homebush? No. All lessons are live online and we have no premises in Australia. The phone number on our site is Indian. ### What do classes cost in Homebush? The first lesson is free. After that a group place costs USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, with fifteen to twenty learners, or USD 150 a month one to one. ### How many learners are in a group? Fifteen to twenty, grouped by level and pace. One-to-one lessons are available if no group suits.
