Question: Convert us to eu

Question

I used python for that question
My code only supports numeric data of date time questions says that you can get a numeric date or a alphabetical date
I'm confused with this. Only 1 Test passed out of 5 Tests

Answer 1

You need to deal with the second input format.
I would say checking if there is a / inside the string should be enough.

I would split the string and for the month you can use a dictionary.
-> ["January", "1," , "2021"]
Now it should be not so difficult to convert it to 1/1/2021

Btw: If you look at testcase 2 the expected output is 1/1/2021

Means for me that you are not allowed to add leading zeros to month or day. But your code does.

(I did it without importing any modules, just regular string manipulation.)

Answer 4

How your code handle test case #2, where the input is "January 1, 2021"?

Wong Hei Ming i noticed that and tried to fix with try: but failed.

The code you posted doesn't have try...except block...

I'm not sure if you can nest a try inside another try...didn't think of it before.
Also, if there is an error you are returning a string "Invalid date format", it surely cannot be converted to a date...
