Reformat Date
Problem statement
Given a date string in the form Day Month Year, where:
Dayis in the set{"1st", "2nd", "3rd", "4th", ..., "30th", "31st"}.Monthis in the set{"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"}.Yearis in the range[1900, 2100].
Convert the date string to the format YYYY-MM-DD, where:
YYYYdenotes the 4 digit year.MMdenotes the 2 digit month.DDdenotes the 2 digit day.
Example 1:
Input: date = "20th Oct 2052"Output: "2052-10-20"
Example 2:
Input: date = "6th Jun 1933"Output: "1933-06-06"
Example 3:
Input: date = "26th May 1960"Output: "1960-05-26"
Constraints:
- The given dates are guaranteed to be valid, so no error handling is necessary.
My solution
/**
* @param {string} date
* @return {string}
*/
var reformatDate = function(inputDate) {
const months = ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"]
const [date, month, year] = inputDate.split(/\W/);
const formatDate = parseInt(date, 10);
const formatMonth = months.indexOf(month);
const formatYear = parseInt(year, 10);
const correctDate = new Date(formatYear, formatMonth, formatDate);
// console.log(correctDate, formatYear, formatMonth, formatDate)
return correctDate.toISOString().substring(0, 10);
};
