Exercise

Date columns

Currently, the date columns in the marketing DataFrame are being incorrectly read as objects. We need to convert these columns to date columns to be able to use Python and pandas' robust date manipulation and formatting capabilities.

In this exercise, you will practice reading the CSV with proper date columns and create a day of the week column.
