How to convert datetimestamps to date in R?

Datetimestamp are used for representing the date along with the time. Year, month, day, hour, minute, second. The hour takes a standard range from 0-23, minutes and seconds ranging from 0-59. R provides as.date () function to convert a datetimestamp to date type. This recipe demonstrates how to change datetimestamp to date in R.

Build a Multi Touch Attribution Model in Python with Source Code

Step 1 - Change datetimestamp to date

Syntax - as.Date(strptime(x)) or format(x)

x <- 'Fri Oct 16 14:30:10 EST 2020' # datetimestamp format y <- as.Date(strptime(x, '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S EST %Y')) # convert datetimestamp to date y

 "Output of code is:" 
2020-10-16

z <- format(y, '%b %d %Y') # convert datetimestamp to date z

 "Output of code is:" 
'Oct 16 2020'
