Find the following different formats for dates: August 2nd, 1994 august 2, 1994  08/02/1994 08/02/94 08-02-1994 Your program should be case insensitive using re.IGNORECASE Your program can only have a maximum of two different regexes. Your program should be able to tell if the date is a valid date. For example, if the date says 99/99/99, then your program should ignore this as a date. This is not done within the regex. Try saving your dates to something like a list and going through that list after your regex runs.  At the end of your program, it should print out all of the dates in the following format: mm/dd/yyyy. EX. 08/02/1994 Your program should use at least two character classes, you may need more. Feel free to make your own custom classes as well.  The following special characters are required in some capacity: {}, ?, Make sure to use re.verbose() so you don't have a super ugly regex. Ideally, this would be written at its most basic, and within the parameters described above.
