We can convert a string to datetime using strptime() function. This function is available in datetime and time modules to parse a string to datetime and time objects respectively.
Import the datetime library. Use the datetime. datetime class to handle date and time combinations. Use the strptime method to convert a string datetime to a object datetime.
For example, the "d" standard format string indicates that a date and time value is to be displayed using a short date pattern. For the invariant culture, this pattern is "MM/dd/yyyy". For the fr-FR culture, it is "dd/MM/yyyy". For the ja-JP culture, it is "yyyy/MM/dd".
From string to date:
DateTime d = DateTime.ParseExact(s, "yyMMdd", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
Or the other way around:
string s = d.ToString("yyMMdd");
