format a date in to the format october 13, 2014 in rust

You can format a date to the string October 13, 2014 in Rust using the strftime method of the DateTime struct from the chrono crate. Here is an example:

main.rs
use chrono::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let date = Utc.ymd(2014, 10, 13);
    let formatted_date = date.format("%B %e, %Y").to_string();
    println!("{}", formatted_date);
}
176 chars
8 lines

In this example, we first create a DateTime<Utc> struct representing the date October 13, 2014 using the ymd method.

Then, we call the format method on the date and pass in a string representing the desired output format. %B is a format code to display the full month name (in this case, October). %e is a format code to display the day of the month without a leading zero (in this case, 13). %Y is a format code to display the full year (in this case, 2014).

Finally, we call the to_string method on the Formatted struct returned by format to convert it to a String, and print the resulting formatted date to the console using println!.
