Program:
/* ............... START ............... */
from datetime import datetime
# Original date string
original_date_str = "2023-09-16"
# Convert the original date string to a datetime object
original_date = datetime.strptime(original_date_str, "%Y-%m-%d")
# Define the desired output format
desired_format = "%d/%m/%Y" # For example, change to DD/MM/YYYY format
# Convert the datetime object to the desired format as a string
formatted_date_str = original_date.strftime(desired_format)
# Print the formatted date
print(formatted_date_str)
/* ............... END ............... */
Output
Notes:
-
We import the datetime module and specify the original date string in the original_date_str variable.
- We use datetime.strptime() to convert the original date string into a datetime object, specifying the format of the original date using the "%Y-%m-%d" format string (assuming the original date is in YYYY-MM-DD format).
- We use strftime() to convert the datetime object back into a string with the desired format.
- You can modify the desired_format variable to change the output date format according to your requirements.
