For fun Using Boolean logic to deal with dates
The problem
The problem Parse a string to a Date object
The problem • Date could be in the mm/dd/yyyy format
The problem • Date could be in the mm/dd/yyyy format
• Date could be in any format recognisable by Date.parse
The problem • Date could be in the mm/dd/yyyy format
• Date could be in any format recognisable by Date.parse • Except the dd/mm/yyyy format
month_day_year = Date.strptime(string, "%m/%d/%Y") rescue nil
month_day_year = Date.strptime(string, "%m/%d/%Y") rescue nil generic_parse = Date.parse(string) rescue
nil
month_day_year = Date.strptime(string, "%m/%d/%Y") rescue nil generic_parse = Date.parse(string) rescue

0) ^ (generic_parse ? 1 : 0)) == 0) month_day_year || generic_parse
