Printing dates in a friendly format

Because people may want to see dates in many different formats, Python comes with very flexible functions for turning date objects into strings.

Let's see what event was recorded first in the Florida hurricane data set. In this exercise, you will format the earliest date in the florida_hurricane_dates list in two ways so you can decide which one you want to use: either the ISO standard or the typical US style.
