How to Convert String Dates to Date Format in Python and C#

In this blog post, we will show you how to convert string dates to date format in Python and C#. We will cover how to convert dates with different formats, including dates with month in word.

The datetime module in Python and the System.DateTime class in C# are both used to represent dates and times. The strptime() function in Python and the Parse() method in C# can be used to convert a string date to a DateTime object.

The re module in Python and the System.Text.RegularExpressions class in C# can be used to match a date string.

Here is the code to convert a string date-to-date format in Python:

This code first defines a function called convert_string_date_to_date(). This function takes a string date as input and returns a DateTime object.

The function then defines a list of date formats. The list includes the following formats:

  • %Y-%m-%d: This is the standard date format for Python and C#.
  • %d-%b-%Y: This format uses the month in Word.
  • %b/%d/%Y: This format uses the month in Word and a slash as the delimiter.
  • %d/%b/%Y: This format uses the month in Word and a forward slash as the delimiter.

The function then iterates over the list of date formats. For each date format, the function tries to convert the string date to a DateTime object. If the conversion is successful, the function returns the DateTime object. Otherwise, the function continues to the next date format.

If the function is unable to convert the string date to a DateTime object, it raises a ValueError exception.

The code then defines a list of string dates. The list includes the following dates:

  • 2023-08-05
  • 05-Aug-2023
  • Aug/05/2023
  • 5/Aug/2023

The code then iterates over the list of string dates. For each string date, the code calls the convert_string_date_to_date() function. The function returns the DateTime object for the string date. The code then prints the DateTime object.

In this blog post, we showed you how to convert string dates to date format in Python and C#. We covered how to convert dates with different formats, including dates with months in Word.

Shell script to find factorial of a number

You can create a shell script to find the factorial of a number using a while loop. Here is an example: In this script, we prompt the user to enter a number and store it in the variable number . We then initialize two variables, factorial and counter , to 1 and the value of number , respectively. We use a while loop to iterate through the numbers from the value of number down to 1. In each iteration, we multiply the current value of factorial by the current value of counter , then decrement the value of counter by 1. At the end of the loop, we output the final value of factorial , which is the factorial of the number entered by the user. You can execute this script by making it executable by running chmod +x scriptname and then you can run ./scriptname. Make sure that you have bash installed in your system, otherwise, you have to use a different shell accordingly. This script uses a for loop to iterate from 1 to the given number, and calculates the factorial by multiplying the cur...

Difference between static ip and dynamic ip

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. There are two main types of IP addresses: static and dynamic. A static IP address is a fixed IP address that is manually assigned to a device. Once a static IP address is assigned to a device, it does not change, regardless of whether the device is turned off or disconnected from the network. A dynamic IP address, on the other hand, is assigned to a device dynamically, typically by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. Dynamic IP addresses are assigned each time a device connects to a network, and they can change over time. Here are some differences between Static IP and dynamic IP Persistence: Static IP addresses are persistent and do not change, whereas dynamic IP addresses are assigned each time a device connects to a network and can change over time. Manual or Automatic Configuration: Static IP addre...
