from datetime import datetime

def in_range(date_str, start_str, end_str):
    date  = datetime.strptime(date_str, "%Y-%m-%d").date()
    start = datetime.strptime(start_str, "%Y-%m-%d").date()
    end   = datetime.strptime(end_str, "%Y-%m-%d").date()

    return start <= date <= end

print(in_range("2025-04-10", "2025-04-01", "2025-04-30"))  
print(in_range("2025-06-01", "2025-04-01", "2025-04-30"))
