Outputting pretty dates and times

An easy way to output dates is to use the stamp() function in lubridate. stamp() takes a string which should be an example of how the date should be formatted, and returns a function that can be used to format dates.

In this exercise you'll practice outputting today() in a nice way.

Create a stamp() based on the string "Sep 20 2017".
Print date_stamp. Notice it is a function.
Pass today() to date_stamp to format today's date.
Now output today's date in American style MM/DD/YYYY.
Finally, use stamp based on the finished string I've put in your workspace to format today().
