Proforma format for R&D

hi i'm joachim for statistics globe and in this video i'll explain how to change the format of dates using the r programming language in the video i'm going to show you several examples and all of these examples are based on the example date that we can create with line two of the code so if you run this line of code you can see at the top right of rstudio that a new date object appears which is called my date and we can print this day to the rstudio console by running line three of the code and then you can see at the bottom in the rstudio console that our date is the 27th of may 2020 we can also check the class of our date to make sure that our example data object has the date class and we can do that by running line five of the code and in this line of code we are applying the class function to our date object so if you run this line of code you can see at the bottom in the rstudio console that our data object has the date class now in the following examples of this tutorial i will show you how to change the format of this date and for this i'm using the format function as you can see for example in line 7 of the code and within the format function we have to specify the name of our date then we have to specify a comma and then we have to specify a character string which is containing the structure of the date that we want to return so in this case we are specifying that we want to return the day first the month second and the year at the last position so if you run line seven of the code you can see at the bottom in the rstudio console that the ordering of our input date was changed so that the day appears at the first position and the year appears at the last position of our date a different alternative is shown in line 9 of the code in this line of code i'm specifying that i want to show the year at the first position the month in a different format at the second position and the day at the third position so if you run line nine of the code you can see that we have created a date which is showing the year at the first position the name of our month so in this case may at the second position and the day of the month at the last position of our date it is also possible to add additional parameters to our date object as you can see in line 11 of the code so in this line of code i am specifying additional parameters within the character string so if you run line 11 of the code you can see that we have created another date object which is consisting of the same values at the beginning of the date but at the end of the date we have added hours minutes and seconds and in the last example of this tutorial i want to show you that it is also possible to change the separators between the values of our date so in the previous examples we have used a minus sign to separate our values however now i'm using a slash to separate our values so if you run line 13 of the code you can see that we have returned exactly the same date but with a different separator so in this video i have explained in different examples how to apply the format function to change the formatting of our date however in case you want to learn more on this topic you could check out my homepage statisticsblob.com because on the home page i have recently published a tutorial in which i'm explaining the content of this video in some more detail and i will put a link to this tutorial into the description of the video furthermore if you have liked the video i would be very happy if you leave me some positive feedback in the comments and make sure to subscribe to my youtube channel to get notifications in future when i'm releasing new videos to the channel that's it for this video thanks a lot see you next time bye
