How to take a date from the user?
Question:
How would I go about designing a Python program which takes in a date from the user, a date that looks like this 3/13/17, and turns it into a date which looks like this 2017.3.13?
Answers:
Get the date as text and then convert it to date with the format you would like. or get the date as a number (month, date and year ) separately and make it as a date.
Example:
my_string = str(input('Enter date(yyyy-mm-dd): '))
my_date = datetime.strptime(my_string, "%Y-%m-%d")
You can split the string by using the str.split method like this:
s = "3/13/17"
month, day, year = s.split("/")
print(f"20{year}.{month}.{day}")
Python will automatically assign the splitted values to the variables month, day, and year
