Let’s start today’s tutorial How do I get difference between two times in weeks in golang?
Here, we are going to do,
Define two date times object.

Hours()
method and divide it by/ 24 / 7
to get the difference in weeks.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
currentTime := time.Now()
oldTime := time.Date(2020, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
diff := currentTime.Sub(oldTime)
//In weeks
fmt.Printf("weeks: %f\n", diff.Hours() / 24 / 7)
