Computer Science Question String Slicing

Question

I want to make this date which is this 1985-08-01 what would be the numbers to make it look like this 08-1985 and the best I have done at slicing is doing this [ : 7] but that only gives me the date 1985-08 which isn't what I need

This is the code:

print("Date:{}".format(sorted_lowest_to_highest[i][1][:7]

[:7] that part is the only thing I need help with

Answer 1

# You get ONE LESS than the ending index

inputDateStr = "1985-08-01"

strSliceMonth = inputDateStr[5:7]

strSliceYear = inputDateStr[0:4]

outbuffDate = strSliceMonth + "-" + strSliceYear

print(outbuffDate)
