Description

The method should be able to identify and convert the date into a specific static format.
The functionality of the method can be described as below -

  1. Take in any type of date as input (for example - 2021-11-13)
  2. Identify the format (for example - YYYY-MM-DD)
  3. Convert the date into any desired format (for example - DD/MM/YYYY)

Assumptions

The following assumptions can be made during the implementation

  1. No time is present in the given input date.
  2. The input will be only a string.
  3. A list of input patterns can be assumed. (For example - you can assume the input will be in either of any known formats mentioned).
    input_date_format = [ 'DD/MM/YYYY', 'YYYY/DD/MM', 'MM/DD/YYYY', 'YYYY/MM/DD', 'DD-MM-YYYY', 'YYYY-DD-MM', 'MM-DD-YYYY', 'YYYY-MM-DD' ]

Input

A string in any of the formats mentioned above (The contributor is free to add any other formats)

An expected output format the input date should be converted to

Output

A date in string converted into the desired format.

Note

The use of standard python libraries is highly recommended.
