Hi gang: Here's another exercise to consider. This is a date entry problem where the user can enter a date in various forms, but the return will be in a consistent format. For example, a user might enter a date in the form of: August 5, 2009 Aug 05 2009 Aug 5, 9 08/05/09 8-5-9 8 05 2009 8,5,9 Or any combination thereof. However, the resultant date will be standardized to: Aug 5, 2009. Extra points for solving this for Euro as well as US date formats (i.e., 5 Aug, 2009 vs Aug 5, 2009). And, extra extra points for accommodating month brevity, such as "A" for August and "Mar" for March and so on.
