Write a program that asks the user to enter a date in MM/DD/ format that is typical for the US, the Philippines, Palau, Canada, and Micronesia. For the convenience of users from other nations, the program computes and displays this date in an alternative DD. MM. format. Sample run of your program would look like this: Please enter date in MM/DD/ format: 7/4/1776 Here is the formatted date: 04.07.1776 You can assume that the user will enter correctly formatted date, but do not count on having 0s in front of one-digit dates. Hint: you will need to use string addition (concatenation) here.

In Python:

txt = input("Date in MM/DD/ format: ")

x = txt.split("/")

date=x[1]+"."

if(int(x[1])<10):

   if not(x[1][0]=="0"):

       date="0"+x[1]+"."

   else:

       date=x[1]+"."

if(int(x[0])<10):

   if not(x[0][0]=="0"):

       date+="0"+x[0]+"."+x[2]

   else:

       date+=x[0]+"."+x[2]

else:

   date+=x[0]+"."+x[2]

print(date)

Explanation:

From the question, we understand that the input is in MM/DD/ format and the output is in DD/MM/ format/

The program explanation is as follows:

This prompts the user for date in MM/DD/ format

txt = input("Date in MM/DD/ format: ")

This splits the texts into units (MM, DD and )

x = txt.split("/")

This calculates the DD of the output

date=x[1]+"."

This checks if the DD is less than 10 (i..e 1 or 01 to 9 or 09)

if(int(x[1])<10):

If true, this checks if the first digit of DD is not 0.

   if not(x[1][0]=="0"):

If true, the prefix 0 is added to DD

       date="0"+x[1]+"."

   else:

If otherwise, no 0 is added to DD

       date=x[1]+"."

This checks if the MM is less than 10 (i..e 1 or 01 to 9 or 09)

if(int(x[0])<10):

If true, this checks if the first digit of MM is not 0.

   if not(x[0][0]=="0"):

If true, the prefix 0 is added to MM and the full date is generated

       date+="0"+x[0]+"."+x[2]

   else:

If otherwise, no 0 is added to MM and the full date is generated

       date+=x[0]+"."+x[2]

else:

If MM is greater than 10, no operation is carried out before the date is generated

   date+=x[0]+"."+x[2]

This prints the new date

print(date)
