Converting date formats - simple

Sales area A in Europe, and Sales area B in Australia have different date formats.

Sale A: 4000 on 14/02/2018
Sale B: 3000 on 2 March 2018

We will use the datetime library to convert the date format into a string using the datetime.strptime(date_string, format) method, using the following directives:

Directive	Meaning	Example
%d	Day of the month as a zero-padded decimal number	01, 02, …, 31
%b	Month as locale’s abbreviated name	Jan, Feb, …, Dec
%B	Month as locale’s full name	January, …, December
%m	Month as a zero-padded decimal number	01, 02, …, 12
%y	Year without century as a zero-padded decimal number	00, 01, …, 99
%Y	Year with century as a decimal number	1970, 1988, 2001, 2013

Import the datetime library.
Create a dt_object that converts the dates of each sale into a standardized format of day-month-year.
Print each result, but only the correct month value, by appending month onto the print object.
