Algorithm

  1. Import Module:

    • Import the datetime module.

  2. Get Input:

    • Receive the date string as input.

  3. Specify Format:

    • Define the expected format of the date string.

  4. Convert to Datetime:

    • Use datetime.strptime() to convert the string to a datetime object based on the specified format.

  5. Handle Errors:

    • Catch any ValueError exceptions that may arise during the conversion.
